Summary
This study looks at the entire surgical experience for people aged 65 and older, from before the operation through recovery. Researchers will interview older adults, their families, and nursing home staff, and use questionnaires to understand concerns and health literacy. The goal is to find gaps in current care and improve support for older patients throughout their surgical journey.
