First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a special care model (GRACE) to regular annual wellness visits can help older adults with complex health needs stay healthier and avoid hospital stays. Researchers will work with 110 participants aged 65 and older to see if this approach is practical and improves patient experiences. The goal is to gather information that could lead to better care for seniors.
