What this trial studies

This project focuses on optimizing occupational therapy for elderly individuals with neurocognitive disorders who have been hospitalized due to falls. The COTID program involves assessing the home environment and engaging caregivers to reduce the risk of falls and rehospitalizations. By providing personalized intervention plans, the program aims to enhance the quality of life for participants and empower them in their care. The approach is based on evidence and has been validated in the Netherlands since 2009.
