“…They concluded that older people with FMI who were cared for in ageless services were found to have a significant unmet need in relation to medication management, domestic life and transport issues. Abdul‐Hamid et al's () findings are supported by Palinkas et al's () study and a study by Morrow‐Howell, Proctor, Rubin, Li, and Thompson (), who focused on the needs of ( n = 169) older people with depression postacute care, across psychosocial, medical, functional and psychiatric needs. That study revealed that healthcare professionals working in an ageless service lacked the knowledge and skills to assess older people with FMI with regard to physical comorbidities.…”
