Summary

This study looks at whether trained volunteers can help older adults (65+) in the hospital stay active and avoid losing strength and mobility. About 180 participants will either get twice-daily volunteer-led walks or bedside exercises, or usual care. Researchers will interview patients, volunteers, and staff to see if the program works and can be used in different hospitals.
