Removing Home Hazards for Older Adults in Affordable Housing

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators will conduct a hybrid effectiveness/implementation trial to simultaneously establish the effectiveness of home hazard removal in affordable housing in order to reduce falls, and conduct a process evaluation of how the intervention works in the context of low-income senior apartments.

Clinical Trial Description

The investigators, in collaboration with the community partner, will offer the program to all building residents in select low-income senior apartments. The eligibility criteria include a self-report of one or more falls in the preceding 12 months, a fear of falling, or unsteadiness while standing or walking. The investigators will screen residents and determine their risk for falling. Residents who are high risk will be referred to licensed occupational therapy practitioners for baseline assessments and home hazard removal. Residents will be re-assessed at 3 months. All assessments will be conducted in the residents' apartment buildings. Outcomes (falls, program evaluation) will be collected by our community partner. ;
