CAPABLE-VNSNY Trial Summary

This trial will see if integrated health services can help improve seniors' ability to sleep, balance, walk, and take care of themselves after hospitalization.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for older adults aged 65 or above who are part of the VNSNY CHOICE Medicare Plan, can stand (with help if needed), and have been out of the hospital for at least 60 days. They must struggle with daily tasks like walking or self-care but cannot be severely cognitively impaired, frequently hospitalized, undergoing cancer treatment, or planning to move within a year.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The CAPABLE intervention is being tested to see if it helps improve sleep, balance, mobility, and self-care in older adults after they've been discharged from the hospital. It includes medication assistance, muscle and balance exercises, pain management strategies and home modifications.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since CAPABLE involves non-medical interventions such as exercise and home safety improvements rather than drugs or surgery, side effects are minimal but may include muscle soreness from physical activities.

Group I: InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The experimental group will receive CAPABLE services. These include ≤10 sessions: ≤ 6 with an Occupational Therapist (OT) and ≤ 4 sessions with a Registered Nurse (RN) and up to ≤ $1,500 of home safety and home modifications from a licensed handyman who is guided by the OT. The OT and RN sessions will target participants' self-identified functional goals (e.g., getting safely into the tub, getting upstairs to sleep in own bed).

Group II: Usual CareActive Control1 Intervention

Participants in the usual care group will not receive visit from study clinicians and will continue to receive their usual VNSNY CHOICE benefits and healthcare.
