Comparing Two Acute Care Transition Programs for Older Adults and Their Family Caregivers
This study is looking for better ways to help older adults go home from the hospital and stay healthy, especially with support from their families. It compares two approaches: one that focuses on the patient's needs (Patient-Centered Intervention) and another that also includes special support for family caregivers (Family Caregiver Enhanced Intervention). The goal is to see if adding family support helps patients avoid returning to the hospital or emergency room, and if it helps them with daily activities without feeling overwhelmed. You might be able to join if you are 65 or older, speak English or Spanish, live at home, and are being discharged from the hospital. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 2560 people.

What this trial measures
- Hospital-Free DaysDay 60
The count of days alive and outside acute care hospitals from discharge to day 60. It will be calculated using EHR and Medicare claims data to objectively capture hospital free days elements (i.e.: mortality days, inpatient days, observation stays, and ED visits).
