Interventions

  • CAPABLE: Community Aging in Place-Advancing Better Living for Elders — BEHAVIORAL
    CAPABLE is a client-directed home-based intervention that consists of time-limited services from an occupational therapist, a nurse, and a handyman working collaboratively with the older adult client. In most cases, the OT makes 6 visits, the RN makes 4 visits, and a handyman makes 1 to 2 visits to make any modifications to a person's home during a 6-month period. The first visits for the OT and RN are usually 90 minutes each and the later ones are usually an hour each. Visits are spaced to enable older adults to practice new strategies learned in the previous visit. There should be a clear "conclusion/graduation," with the older adult understanding how to use their new skills and apply them to future situations.

Study Details

This pilot project seeks to implement an intervention known as CAPABLE (Community Aging in Place-Advancing Better Living for Elders) for formerly homeless adults living in permanent supportive housing. This home-based intervention that consists of time-limited services (no more than 6-months) from an occupational therapist, a nurse, and a handyman is intended to improve functioning and decrease falls among this population that prematurely ages and is at increased fall risk.
