ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called TEMPORARY ACCOMMODATION, is looking into how medical and social care can support elderly patients when they leave the hospital but are not quite ready to go home. The study aims to understand whether staying in a nursing home or long-term care facility can help these patients recover better and reduce their time spent in the hospital.

To participate, individuals need to be at least 60 years old, have just been discharged from the hospital, and have a plan in place for returning home. It's important that their medical and social situations are stable enough that they can't go home immediately. Caregivers, who help these patients, can also join the study if they agree to participate and can understand the study questions. Participants will not be involved in any medical treatment changes but will help researchers gather information on their experiences. This trial is currently not recruiting participants, but it aims to improve care for elderly patients in the future.
