Summary

This study tests whether a nurse-led educational program can help adults over 65 with chronic conditions improve self-care and reduce emergency room visits or hospital stays. Participants receive an initial assessment and at least three follow-up sessions over six months. Researchers will compare outcomes before and after the program to see if it makes a difference.
