Improvement in Activities of Daily Living Among Older Adults With Physician‐Led Home Visits: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study in Japan
Following the initiation of physician-led home visits, approximately one-quarter of patients experienced improvement in ADLs. Transition of care from hospital to home was associated with better ADL outcomes, while improvement was less likely among those with severe cognitive impairment. These findings may help estimate ADL changes at the start of home care.
