ABSTRACT

Following hospitalization, nearly 30% of older adults lose some independence. This can lead to rehospitalization, nursing home admission, and increased dependence. CAPABLE, an evidence-based program, increases independence among older adults with functional limitations but has not been tested in recently hospitalized people.
