Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The long-term care 2.0 policy has been launched at 2017 by Taiwanese government to respond the rate of aging population reached to14% and estimated to 20% in 2025, becoming a "super-aged society" in Taiwan. As aging society, the ratio of chronic disease and disability has reasonably raised. The home reablement and care of this policy are not only to prevent and delay disability but provide daily care for the elderly who needed. As the implementation of the policy, there is still insufficient research to investigate and compare the effects on physical mobility and quality of life among the individual after using these different types of the service. Therefore, the aim of the study is to compare the effects on physical function and quality of life of the frail and disabled individual with and without receiving the home reablement services.

The participants will be enrolled from the long-term care service units registered in local government at Hualien county, Taiwan. The recruited participants will be assigned to two groups in a convenient method (receiving and non-receiving the home reablement service). All participants will be assessed by a professional physical therapist at three time points, before the reablement, at 1-3 months after receiving the reablement, then follow-up after 3 months
