Promoting Movement in Older Adults in the Community

It is well known that exercise is great medicine, however, for frail older adults who are often homebound and require assistance with personal care, there are gaps in both prescribing this "medicine" and in filling the prescription. The investigators will uncover and address the barriers that prevent frail older adults from increasing their level of physical activity. With input from frail older adults, caregivers, and healthcare providers, the investigators will create a free, easy to use, home-based program that incorporates physical activity such as gentle stretches and range of motion exercises when personal care is being provided. This innovation will add great value to the type of care that is being provided to homebound frail older adults. Incorporating physical activity as part of the care provided offers a unique opportunity for homebound frail older adults to move more, and improve their well-being.
