The Stockton Geriatric Rating Scale: a shortened version with British normative data
CJ Gilleard and AH Pattie
This paper presents information on a shortened form of the Stockton
Geriatric Rating Scale, which is shown to be as effective as the original
version in discriminating among the elderly. The results for 400 people in
the care of hospital or social services provide provisional normative data
for the use of the scale, which should be of value in assessing the
behavioural competence of the elderly on an individual and group basis.
