Summary

This study compares home-based skilled nursing and rehab care to traditional facility-based care for 650 adults leaving the hospital. Participants are randomly assigned to recover at home with a care team or go to a skilled nursing facility. The main goal is to see if home care leads to fewer hospital readmissions and deaths within 30 days.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Sub-Acute Rehab at Home (home-based skilled nursing and rehabilitative care)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could offer a safe and effective alternative to nursing facility care, allowing more people to recover at home.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage trial comparing two care models, not a new drug or treatment. Results may vary by location and patient condition, and home care may not be suitable for everyone.
