COMPASS 3: A Program to Reduce Disability After Stroke

This study, called COMPASS 3, is looking at a new program to help people transition home after a stroke. You might be able to join if you are at least 55 years old, had an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, were independent before your stroke, and plan to go home after inpatient rehabilitation. Half of the participants will receive an environmental modification program called COMPASS, which tailors changes to your home based on your needs. The other half will receive a stroke education program. The main goal is to see if these programs can reduce the need for admission to a skilled nursing facility (SNF) within 12 months after leaving inpatient rehabilitation. The study aims to enroll 520 participants, but its current status is unclear.
