Résumé : | This is a Health Evidence Network (HEN) synthesis report on the evidence of the effectiveness of home visiting or home-based support for older people. The vast majority of older people wish to remain living in their own homes. Furthermore, institutional care is costly. Consequently there are social and economic imperatives to prevent ill-health and disability in older people and enable them to remain in their own homes as long as possible. Home visiting and home-based support are interventions that may be used to these ends. Evidence shows that home visits can reduce mortality and nursing home admissions in some groups of older people. Characteristics of effective home-visiting programmes include multidimensional assessment, many follow-up visits and targeting people at lower risk of death. |
