Home-based geriatric rehabilitation after inpatient rehabilitation: a redesign and feasibility study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a shift from inpatient to home-based geriatric rehabilitation (HBGR), and potential benefits are demonstrated. Previously, a theoretical HBGR model, version 1.0, has been developed, outlining its essential components. However, clear guidance on the practical design and organisation of HBGR in everyday practice is still lacking. Therefore, determining the optimal design for this complex intervention is essential for its successful implementation in daily practice. The objective of this study is to redesign the theoretical HBGR trajectory and assess its feasibility, acceptability, and usability from both patient and professional perspectives.

Methods

A redesign and feasibility study based on the MRC framework was conducted in a Dutch skilled nursing facilit
