Detailed Description:
The population of older adults is rapidly increasing worldwide and in Norway A present and future challenge is to provide adequate health and care services to older persons It is imperative to organize the services in a manner that is both adequate for the older persons in need of help and sustainable for health and care services and society A way to ensure this is to facilitate and promote measures allowing older adults to age well at home Accordingly it is of great importance to enable older adults to engage with health determinants that influence their daily life actively One area of importance is assessing health determinants and acting upon indications of functional decline cognitive and sensory impairments and frailty
The observational study will assess how interprofessional assessments of health determinants in older adults living at home can promote health and reduce the risk of functional decline The study participants will take part in two assessments of health determinants including frailty physical cognitive and sensory function mental and social health and alcohol use Based on results from the baseline assessment healthcare personnel will identify factors that can affect the older adults health provide tailored information to strengthen health literacy and offer measures available in the health services in the municipality The second assessment 5 months after baseline will reveal if tailoring measures and services have contributed to maintaining and supporting the older persons health and reduced the risk of functional decline The aim of the project is that the elderly living at home maintains health function and self-care and thus can have more good days at home
