Feasibility of a Reablement Programme in Community Care in the Netherlands; A Qualitative Study
Our findings offer critical insights that could guide future efforts to implement reablement programmes more effectively
Exploring the needs and wishes of next of kin for future reablement programs
Introduction: Reablement promotes independent living among older people by, amongst other strategies, involving their social network. However, previous studies have shown that next of kin are seldom involved in the reablement process, and when they are, they are insufficiently supported, often resulting in a higher experienced burden. Little is known how next of kin can be involved and supported more effectively in the reablement process. Therefo…
An example of conducting participatory action research within the Living Lab in Ageing and Long-Term Care
Demand for long-term care is rising, because of the aging of the population and the increase in chronic and degenerative diseases. Both community and institutional care services are facing challenges, not only caused by aggregated care needs but also through technological and related health care innovations. At the same time, the number of well-trained staff is decreasing, partly due to a negative image of care provision within the field of geria…
In the Eye of the Storm
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected healthcare delivery across the world. However, little is known about COVID-19's impact on home healthcare (HHC) services. Our study aimed to: (1) describe the changes in volume and intensity of HHC services and the crisis management policies implemented; (2) understand the responses and the experiences of HHC staff and clients. We conducted an explanatory sequential mixed methods study. First, retrospec…
Towards case-mix based homecare payment
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 2.913 (2021 JCR, received in June 2022)The IJIC 20th Anniversary Issue was published in 2021
Development of an internationally accepted definition of reablement
With an ageing society, the demand for health and social care is increasing. Traditionally, staff provide care for their clients rather than with them. In contrast, reablement aims to support people to maximise their competences to manage their everyday life as independently as possible. There is considerable variation between and within countries regarding the conceptual understanding of the approach. This variation affects the ability to evalua…
A systematic review of case-mix models for home health care payment
Experiences of home‐care workers with the ‘Stay Active at Home’ programme targeting reablement of community‐living older adults
To face the challenges of an ageing population, many Western countries nowadays stimulate an ageing in place policy to empower older adults to grow old in their own homes with the highest degree of self-reliance. However, many community-living older adults experience limitations in (instrumental) activities of daily living ((I)ADLs), which may result in a need for home-care services. Unfortunately, home-care workers often provide support by takin…
Which client characteristics predict home‐care needs? Results of a survey study among Dutch home‐care nurses
Fee-for-service, funding care on an hourly rate basis, creates an incentive for home-care providers to deliver high amounts of care. Under casemix funding, in contrast, clients are allocated-based on their characteristics-to homogenous, hierarchical groups, which are subsequently funded to promote more effective and efficient care. The first step in developing a casemix model is to understand which client characteristics are potential predictors …
Managing frailty

Caregiving to Older Adults
Modification of the stress-appraisal model appears useful as it identifies which sources of support buffer at which stages of the stress process. Findings suggest that cutbacks in formal/professional care may aggravate negative well-being outcomes of informal caregiving and compromise informal caregivers' labor market participation
The reduction of disability in community-dwelling frail older people
ISRCTN31954692
The psychometric properties of three self-report screening instruments for identifying frail older people in the community
The GFI and the TFI showed high internal consistency and construct validity in contrast to the SPQ. Based on these findings it is not yet possible to conclude whether the GFI or the TFI should be preferred; data on the predictive values of both instruments are needed. The SPQ seems less appropriate for postal screening of frailty among community-dwelling older people
