The aim is to evaluate the effects of intensive home rehabilitation regarding multidimensional health perceptions and other quality of life domains, physical ability and capacity among older people (65+). The design is a randomized controlled study of a reablement intervention with controls receiving traditional home care. The intervention is goal- and user oriented, home-based, time limited (3 months), and organized by an interprofessional team consisting of the professions nurse, enrolled nurses, physiotherapists, social worker, and occupational therapists. The effects of the intervention are measured by self-reported health and quality of life (EQ-5D-5L, HACT) including psychological well-being (GP-CORE), physical capacity (SPPB, hand dynamometer test), activity performance (COPM), and home care hours needed. Data are collected at inclusion (T1; applying for home care), after the three months intervention (T2), and at six months (T3). Primary outcome analyses will be performed according to intention to treat; 2 x 3 mixed design (group x time) ANCOVA with each dependent variable at T1 as covariate. Based on a medium effect size in favour of the intervention in the pilot study, and a dropout of 20%, the power calculation indicated that 240 persons should be included. The project will contribute with evidence of the effects of interprofessional home rehabilitation for reablement, and consequences for older persons’ bio-psycho-social health. The project is ongoing with more than 120 persons included. The intervention may result in reduced costs for care, but especially individual gains in relation to reduced care needs, maintained independence and good health.
