What this trial studies

This prospective interventional study examines the impact of a four-week stay in a dedicated transitional care unit on achieving the patient’s primary objective tied to their needs. The investigation aims to improve care pathways, support for families, and overall quality of life by preventing breakdowns and exhaustion in living environments of people with disabilities. Outcomes focus on goal attainment at admission, changes in reliance on unscheduled crisis care, and potential benefits to care coordination. The study is conducted at Fondation Saint-Hélier in Rennes under the lead sponsorship of Pôle Saint Hélier. Eligibility includes adults with disabilities requiring a transitional stay and their primary caregivers, both able to consent and affiliated with social security or benefits.
