• Community based referral

• 12 weeks maximum

Personal Enablement Program (PEP)• Leaving hospital, potential to improve

Study Objectives

Primary objective:

Compare aged care service use over 5 yrs of individuals who

participated in HIP / PEP with that of individuals who received HACC.

Secondary objectives:Examine the impact of participating in an independence program, as

compared to receiving usual home care services, on delaying the need for

recommendation into residential care, improving survival and reducing care

costs over time.

Study Design and Method

Retrospective Cohort Study 65+ yr old HIP, PEP and HACC clients Referred for service 1 Jan 2004 – 31 Dec 2008 No diagnosis of dementia 2004-2009 client data from Silver Chain Comcare, HACC MDS, ACAP

database and mortality register linked Service use examined at 12, 24,36, 48 and 60 months Poisson regression to identify predictors of service use Cox regression to compare ACAT assessment or death Quantile regression to compare costs between groups

Returns on Investment

IFA May 2012




ConclusionsIndividuals who receive a restorative home care service rather than usual HACC home care:

have a reduced likelihood of subsequently using: - any home care service for three years - a personal care service for five years

are somewhat less likely to be ACAT assessed within the next 5 years and much less likely to be approved for nursing home high level care

are less likely to die over the next 5 years

represent a much better return on investment
