Abstract: Assessment offunctional abilities is a key problem in providing and evaluating long-term health care for the elderly. This study examines reliability issues involved in these measurements performed by a multidisciplinary service team within a geriatric care program.

Target areas for improving standardization of data collection by service providers are indicated.
