NCT ID NCT07634406
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a 6-week program where nurses provide weekly phone calls and personalized advice to help frail older adults (65+) living at home. The goal is to reduce frailty and improve their ability to do daily activities. 100 participants will be split into two groups: one gets the phone program, the other gets usual care. Results will be checked at 6 and 18 weeks.
