Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
We are hypothesizing that, compared to usual care, patients enrolled in the intervention will have:
1. greater independence in activities of daily living over 2 years of follow-up;
2. better health status scores as assessed by the HEDIS® 2000 Health Outcomes Survey
3. fewer nursing home days over 2 years of follow-up; and
4. fewer hospitalizations over the 2 years of follow-up.
