Transition in Care From Post-acute Services for the Elderly in Quebec (PAHP)
An early discharge of frail elderly individuals from post-acute care services may lead to a decline in their ability to perform daily activities and cause social, emotional, and psychological distress. Montreal West Island Integrated University Health and Social Services Center in Quebec implemented a pilot program called Post-Acute Home Physiotherapy (PAHP) to address this concern. This program aimed to provide a timely and intense out-patient physiotherapy service to ensure maintenance and optimization of the physical capacities acquired in post-acute care and also to contribute acceleration of the turnover of rehabilitation beds. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of the PAHP program on the functional independence, physical and mental health of elderly individuals, as well as their safety. Additionally, it aimed to identify the healthcare needs, both physical and psychological, of elderly individuals after their discharge from post-acute care services.
