Stroke Home Health Aide Recovery Program (SHARP) Pilot

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Stroke

In brief

The project pilot tests an innovative Stroke Home health Aide Recovery Program (SHARP) designed to improve mobility and reduce falls in post-acute home bound stroke patients. SHARP will accomplish this by expanding the home-based rehabilitation team to include a corps of advanced HHAs specially trained as stroke "peer coaches." Coaches provide mentorship and support to generalist HHAs as they collaborate with patients and families to implement the therapeutic regimens prescribed by patients' physicians and rehabilitation therapists.
