Nursing home and home-care cohort for older adults
Cohort of Nursing Homes (CNH)
This project will follow people aged 60 and older in nursing homes and in home care to see if a new elderly care complex model leads to better health and more active-health awareness than home-based care.

What this trial studies
This observational cohort will enroll adults aged 60+ through nursing homes around the Tianjin Base and through home care settings. Investigators will collect health measures, functional status, and self-reported active-health behaviors and compare changes over time between centralized elderly care complexes and home health care. People who can consent and participate in physical examinations will be included, while bedridden or non-communicative individuals are excluded. The study aims to create a platform for selecting and promoting elderly care models suited to the Tianjin population.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal participants are men and women aged 60 or older who can give informed consent, communicate effectively, and take part in routine physical examinations.
Not a fit: People who are bedridden, have severely limited mobility, cannot communicate effectively, or live outside the local area are unlikely to benefit from participation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the project could identify care models that improve physical health and promote more active-health behaviors among older adults in Tianjin.
How similar studies have performed: Some regional programs and observational studies have reported benefits from integrated elderly care models, but large-scale comparisons of centralized elderly care complexes versus home care are still limited.
