Improving hospital-to-home transitional care to help older people in rural communities recover after hospital discharge.

This study focuses on older people with cognitive difficulties. Cognitive difficulties include trouble thinking, remembering, concentrating, and/or making decisions. While in the hospital, older people with cognitive difficulties can lose their ability to do everyday activities such as dressing themselves. If they can’t get back to doing their usual activities within one month of coming home from the hospital, they are unlikely to ever do so.
