Summary

The project pilot tests an innovative Stroke Home health Aide Recovery Program (SHARP) designed to improve mobility and reduce falls in post-acute home bound stroke patients. SHARP will accomplish this by expanding the home-based rehabilitation team to include a corps of advanced HHAs specially trained as stroke "peer coaches." Coaches provide mentorship and support to generalist HHAs as they collaborate with patients and families to implement the therapeutic regimens prescribed by patients' physicians and rehabilitation therapists.

BEHAVIORAL

SHARP coach intervention

The Coach provides guidance and support through four 45-60 minute in-home visits: Visit 1: to facilitate effective team communication, this visit is conducted, when possible, with the rehabilitation therapist, the patient/family, the direct care aide and the Coach, who jointly reviews the rehabilitation plan of care. Visits 2-4 include: discussion/observation of HHA/patient exercise repetition sessions, along with: 1) discussing falls prevention, signs of a recurrent stroke and when to call 911; 2) modeling motivation techniques, assessing adherence barriers and revising strategies for addressing them; and 3) identifying/ reporting signs of anxiety/depression. Additional coaching visits and calls may be scheduled as needed depending on the aide's progress in addressing barriers and the patient's progress toward rehabilitation goals.
