Background An increasing proportion of older adults experience avoidable hospitalizations, and some are potentially entering long-term care homes earlier and often unnecessarily. Older adults often lack adequate support to transition from hospital to home, without access to appropriate health services when they are needed in the community and resources to live safely at home. Purpose This study collaborated with an existing enhanced home care program called Home Again in Nova Scotia, to identify factors that contribute to older adult patients being assessed as requiring long-term care when they could potentially return home with enhanced supports. Methods Using a case study design, this study examined in-depth experiences of multiple stakeholders, from December 2019 to February 2020, through analysis of nine interviews for three focal patient cases including older adult patients, their family or friend caregivers, and healthcare professionals. Results Findings indicate home care services for older adults are being sought too late, after hospital readmission, or a rapid decline in health status when family caregivers are already experiencing caregiver burnout. Limitations in home care services led to barriers preventing family caregivers from continuing to care for older adults at home. Conclusions This study contributes knowledge about gaps within home care and transitional care services, highlighting the importance of investing in additional home care services for rehabilitation and prevention of rapidly deteriorating health.

Many older adults wish to age-in-place but do not have long-term care plans for when they may require more assistance. PlanYourLifespan.org (PYL) is an evidence-based tool that helps older adults understand and plan for their long-term care needs. We examined the long-term effects of PYL use on user perceptions and planning of long-term care services. Individuals who previously accessed PYL were invited to complete an online, nation-wide mixed methodology survey about end-user outcomes related to PYL. Among 115 completed surveys, users found PYL helpful with long-term planning for their future needs. Over half of website users reported having conversations with others because of PYL use. However, 40% of respondents reported not having a conversation with others about their plans; common themes for barriers to planning included procrastination and a lack of immediate support needs. Although PYL helps with planning, many people are still not communicating their long-term care plans.

Hospital To Home

Abstract Background: An increasing proportion of older adults experience avoidable hospitalizations, and some are potentially entering long-term care homes earlier and often unnecessarily. Within Canada, approximately 10 percent of newly admitted long-term care residents could have potentially been cared for at home. Without adequate support from health care services to transition older adults from hospital to home, they often lack access to appropriate services when they are needed in the community thus making them more vulnerable to avoidable hospital visits, rapid deterioration of health, and earlier and unnecessary placement into residential long-term care. The purpose of this study was to collaborate with an existing enhanced home care program called Home Again in Halifax, Nova Scotia, to identify factors that contribute to older adult patients being assessed as requiring long-term care when they could potentially return home with enhanced supports. Methods: Through a retrospective case study design, we analyzed nine interviews for three focal patient cases including older adult patients, their family or friend caregivers, and healthcare professionals. Results: Findings indicate home care services for older adults are being sought too late, after hospital re-admission, or a rapid decline in health status when family caregivers are already experiencing caregiver burnout. Limitations in home care services ultimately led to barriers preventing family caregivers from continuing to care for older adults at home, such as absence of overnight services, a lack of information about home care services, and a lack of knowledge to navigate resources available. Conclusion: This study contributes knowledge about gaps within home care and transitional care services, highlighting the significance of investing in additional home care services for rehabilitation and the prevention of rapidly deteriorating health when older adults are discharged home after their first hospital visit. By understanding experiences and challenges of patients, family or friend caregivers, and healthcare professionals, we identified ways to reduce healthcare costs and improve the delivery and quality of home care services to better support older adult patients and their family or friend caregivers and to ensure hospitalized older adults are not unnecessarily admitted to nursing homes.
