Abstract
The Keep Well at Home method we have piloted is simple ‐ initial screen, comprehensive assessment, onward referral and regular telephone monitoring for those aged 75+ at risk of functional decline. Using validated tools, this preventative approach links health and social care and is proving feasible in practice.
