描述综合护理机构实际向希腊老年人提供的服务的性质，而不是根据有关法律应提供的服务，并调查影响这些服务供应的因素。到2020年，欧洲联盟将有大约2 000万人年满80岁。第三年龄人口占希腊总人口的16.9%。人口老龄化对卫生服务、就业和整个社会都有重大影响。“老年人开放护理中心”是一个迅速发展和扩大的机构，为老年人提供综合护理。向所有370名KAPI发送了一份由工作人员填写的调查问卷。回应率达66%。对于数据分析，使用SPSS10.0进行多元逻辑回归分析。KAPI向全国各地的老年人提供不同程度的医疗和社会护理。KAPI的成员人数、医务人员、辅助医务人员和非医务人员以及资金供应等因素主要影响服务的提供。KAPI提供综合护理服务。然而，还需要采取更多的步骤，朝着其他欧洲国家的综合护理计划的方向努力，以提高所提供服务的质量和数量。
To describe the nature of the services actually offered to the elderly in Greece by an institution of integrated care, as opposed to those that should be offered according to the relevant law, and to investigate the factors influencing the supply of those services. By the year 2020 about 20 million people will be aged 80 and over in the European Union. People of third age consist 16.9% of the total Greek population. Population aging has major implications on health services, employment and society as a whole. “Open Care Centres for the Elderly” (KAPI) is a rapidly developing and expanding institution providing integrated care for the elderly. A questionnaire to be completed by the staff was sent to all 370 KAPI. Response rate reached 66%. For the analysis of the data multiple logistic regression analysis was performed using SPSS 10.0. Both medical and social care is provided by the KAPI to the elderly with different magnitude all over the country. Factors such as number of members, medical, paramedical and non-medical staff and fund availability in the KAPI mainly influence the supply of services. Integrated care services are offered by the KAPI. However, more steps need to be taken towards the direction of other European countries' integrated care schemes, in order to improve both quality and quantity of the services provided.
