Housing advice after hospital stay to help older adults stay home
This study tests whether extra housing advice after you leave the hospital helps older adults safely stay at home longer. You would receive support to make your home more suitable and to help you manage daily life after discharge.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 70 years old or older.
