Immediate Intervention
Upon enrollment, participants receive the adapted telephone-based intervention, the Independent Living Program for Affordable Housing, for two consecutive months. Independent Living Program for Affordable Housing.: Two-month program intended to increase physical activity and function, including the following 4 steps: 1. Environmental and Policy Assessments: Nurse facilitator works with the affordable housing staff to identify and recommend feasible interventions to alter the environment, policy, and procedures to optimize resident function and physical activity. 2. Education: Nurse educates residents and study partners in the principles of the Independent Living Program, using established materials and adult learning techniques. 3. Establishing Resident Goals: The nurse completes Capability Assessment Forms and helps resident set goals to increase function and physical activity. 4. The nurse helps to motivate and mentor residents and study partners to achieve and maintain their goals, using evidence-based approaches.
