Brief Summary:
The purpose of the study is to determine whether a combination of occupational therapy visits, nursing visits, and handyman repair are effective in helping low income older adults avoid costly health care services
Detailed Description:
We will recruit low-income age 65 or older
-principally African-American, adults from the Baltimore Department of Housing Energy Assistance Program.
-We will interview them at home and randomize participants to either the treatment (CAPABLE intervention) or control (attention-control) group. Participants in the treatment group will receive up to 10 in-home sessions -- 6 visits with an occupational therapist and 4 visits from a nurse - and $1200 in safety and modification services from a licensed handyman. Each treatment participant will receive each intervention component but interventionists will systematically tailor content to the participants' risk profile and goals based on protocols.
