Home visits aim to ensure older Adults' wishes are followed
NCT ID NCT04070183
Summary
This study tested whether having a trained facilitator visit older adults at home to help them complete a medical preference form (called a POST or POLST form) would improve the match between the care they want and the care they actually receive. It involved 389 older adults living at home, including some with dementia, who were at higher risk for serious illness. Researchers compared those who received the in-home help to a control group to see if it reduced mismatched care and improved decision-making.
