ANN V. SALVAGE, Research Officer, NORMAN J. VETTER, Director and DEE A. JONES, Senior Research Fellow

University of Wales College of Medicine, Research Team for the Care of the Elderly, St David's Hospital Cowbridge Road, Cardiff CF1 9TZ

A random sample of elderly people aged 75 and over living in their own homes were questioned about their experiences, knowledge and beliefs about three hospital in-patient facilities: general medical and geriatric wards, and geriatric hospitals. Attitudes towards geriatric wards and hospitals were consistently less positive than those towards general medical wards.

accepted in revised form October 25, 1987.
