Meal delivery plus exercise for homebound frail adults
This study tests whether providing meal delivery and an exercise plan can help people who are homebound and frail stay stronger. It is mainly for adults who can safely participate and follow simple instructions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You usually cannot leave home on your own (homebound).
- You are considered frail or “pre-frail” based on a frailty checklist.
- Your medical conditions are stable enough to safely take part.
- You can walk (you are able to ambulate).
- You can use your arms/hands as needed and do not already have home physical/occupational therapy ordered by a doctor.
- You can understand and follow instructions (Mini-Cog is usually 3 or higher).
