The Clinical Evaluation of Continuous Assistance Offered to Older People Living Independently.

Summary

The clinical evaluation of the HOMESWEETHOME project sets out to assess the long-term effects of continuous assistance offered by the HOMESWEETHOME services to older people living independently. The trial will test the hypothesis that while providing a level of safety equivalent to or better than that enjoyed in older people"s homes, there is a significant positive effect on the quality of life (QoL) and the duration of independently living of older people.
