Reimagining Day Rehabilitation For Frailty and Neurodegenerative Conditions through the integrated Rehabilitation and EnAblement Program (iREAP).

Background: integrated Rehabilitation and EnAblement Program (iREAP) is an innovative redesign of the traditional day rehabilitation model, providing an anticipatory, early assessment and intervention program that manages care of community-dwelling older people with complex needs. It coordinates access to disciplines across medical, allied health and nursing, with a self-management focus, partnering with primary health in an integrated approach.

Objective: This observational study reviews the effectiveness of iREAP on frailty, patient activation, quality of life and physical outcome measures on older people at risk of, or experiencing falls and frailty, or with neurodegenerative conditions, including Parkinson's Disease.

Improving Healthcare Quality and Clinical Outcomes for Persons with Dementia in the Sub-Acute Hospital Through Person-Centered Care Practice.

Background: Person-centered care is considered beneficial for persons with dementia.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of a person-centered knowledge translation intervention on the quality of healthcare and outcomes for persons with dementia.

Methods: Over nine months, sub-acute hospital nursing, allied health, and medical staff (n = 90) participated in online and/or face-to-face person-centered education and were supported by senior nursing, allied health, and medical staff champions (n = 8) to implement person-centered healthcare.

A 10-week intergenerational program bringing together community-living older adults and preschool children (INTERACTION): a pilot feasibility non-randomised clinical trial.

Background: Social isolation and low levels of physical activity are strong drivers for frailty, which is linked to poor health outcomes and transition to long-term care. Frailty is multifactorial, and thus an integrated approach is needed to maintain older adults' health and well-being. Intergenerational programs represent a novel multifactorial approach to target frailty, social isolation and physical decline but these have not yet been rigorously tested in Australia.

Evaluating Implementation and Outcomes of a Person-Centered Care Model for People with Dementia in the Rehabilitation In-Patient Setting: Project Protocol.

Background: While Australian guidelines promote person-centered healthcare (PCC) for persons with dementia, healthcare systems, routines, rules, and workplace cultures can pose challenges in the provision of PCC.

Objective: To present a knowledge translation protocol of the PCC model in a sub-acute rehabilitation hospital.

Methods: The two-year pre/post/follow-up translation project will include (n = 80) persons with dementia, (n = 80) adult family/carers of patient participants, (n = 60) healthcare staff (medical, nursing, allied health), and (n = 8) PCC staff champions.
