ABSTRACT
The return home after a period in hospital is a high-risk situation for an elderly person. Services exist to facilitate the hospital-home transition but are sometimes not used. Few studies suggest that socio-economic vulnerability is an important factor in a successful return home. One study shows that this relationship is vague and disputed. In fact, compliance with a support plan, recommended when a patient returns home, is multifactorial and does not seem to depend on the existence or otherwise of socio-economic vulnerability.
