Summary
This study will adapt the InterRAI-HC, a comprehensive geriatric assessment tool, for use in Turkish home health services. Researchers will test its reliability and compare it to standard forms in 36 elderly patients and their caregivers. The goal is to create a better way to assess and plan care for older adults receiving home health care.
