Summary

This clinical study is designed to test the feasibility of a new intervention, CAPABLE Transitions. CAPABLE Transitions is based on the Community Aging in Place, Advancing Better Living for Elders (CAPABLE) intervention designed by Dr. Sarah Szanton at Johns Hopkins University. Similar to CAPABLE, CAPABLE Transitions consists of an occupational therapy (OT)-led intervention in which the study OT, nurse, and handyman deliver an in-home intervention over 3-4 months. This intervention is designed to help with the transition of care from a hospital or post-acute care facility discharge as well as to optimize functioning and home safety. This clinical study plans to recruit a total of 60 older adults with and without dementia admitted to a home health agency following discharge from a hospital or post-acute care facility. Given that this is a feasibility study, it is not designed or powered to test hypotheses.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

CAPABLE Transitions

The CAPABLE Transitions intervention group will receive an occupational therapy-led multidisciplinary in-home intervention in which the study occupational therapist (\<6 visits), registered nurse (\<5 visits), and handyman (\<2 visits) work with participants over 3-4 months. This intervention group also will receive home health agency care as usual services. CAPABLE Transitions in embedded within a home health agency and includes a care transitions emphasis.

BEHAVIORAL

Home Health Agency Care

Both the CAPABLE Transitions intervention and care as usual treatment arms will receive home health agency care as usual services, which can include nursing, health aide, medical social work, and occupational, physical, and speech therapy services. Home health agency clinicians will determine the types and duration of CHHA services that the study participants receive; these services will be completely independent from the research study.
