Hospital care for adults with learning disabilities

This study asks support workers and managers about their experiences caring for people with learning disabilities after they leave the hospital. If you work in a care home or supported living service and have helped someone transition back into community living in the past three years, you may be able to join an interview.

This trial studies a program that helps people with disabilities and their family caregivers during a 4-week stay in a transitional care unit. The goal is to see if extra support, advice, and guidance can improve well-being and prevent problems after leaving the unit.

This study tests a “Transitional and Lifelong Care” program for adults who had a disability since childhood, and includes their main caregiver or support person. It aims to see how this type of care support may improve experiences and support over time.

This trial looks at how well a “Hospital at Home” program works when people start from the emergency department or are already in the hospital and can be cared for at home. It may help teams improve care at home for certain medical conditions and situations.

This study looks at how well older patients understand health information. If you or a loved one visit St. Peter's Hospital Geriatric Clinic, you may be able to join a simple survey about health literacy.

This trial tests whether certain adults can safely receive hospital-level care at home instead of staying in the hospital, using a home care team. It may help you recover in your own home if your condition fits their plan and you have support at home.
