Home-visit rehabilitation based on the Management Tool for Daily Life Performance using the Comprehensive Environmental Questionnaire for older adults: A case study

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Management Tool for Daily Life Performance (MTDLP) using the Comprehensive Environmental Questionnaire for older adults (CEQ). The MTDLP was conducted using the CEQ from a community-living older person receiving home-visit rehabilitation through long-term care insurance. The CEQ enabled us to plan three agreed goals based on needs from an environmental perspective and to accomplish effective social adaptation programs. Consequently, all the agreed goals were achieved in three months, and self-efficacy, instrumental activities of daily living, and homebound status for the case were improved. The CEQ is effective in planning agreed goals from a holistic perspective, as well as enhancing the potential to deliver specific social adaptation programs.
