Brief Summary
Hypothesis: It is hypothesized that older adults who receive the ElderCare intervention will, when compared with a control group of older adults show a significant improvement in quality of life,a significant decrease in symptomatology, significantly higher satisfaction with their care, and less utilization of health care resources. The Eldercare project involves a detailed assessment by a nurse done in the patients home, followed by the development and delivery of a Eldercare Plan using a Goal Attainment Scaling approach. Outcomes include quality of life, symptomatology, satisfaction, and health care utilization.
