Southern Adelaide Co-ordinated Regional Hip and Debility Rehabilitation Programme

The intervention developed for this study will closely resemble interdisciplinary approaches routinely delivered to older adults with hip fracture who return to community living, geriatric hip fracture programs and early supported discharge programs. The program run will include a: - Medical assessment by a Geriatrician prior to discharge if possible and post discharge at residential facility. - Review of medications and comorbidities by a Geriatrician prior to discharge if possible and post discharge at residential facility. - Following discharge participants will receive 4 weeks of physiotherapy focused on restoration of transfers and limited mobility with a Physiotherapist and Allied Health Assistant. Other allied health assessment and support, including dietetics assessment, will be provided as required. In addition, we will work with aged care staff to encourage a rehabilitation approach between formal therapy sessions and we will set up a formal meeting with families to discuss progress and relevant issues.
