Pathway to Healthy Aging care
The ICOPE-based personalized care planning comprises two home visits. In 1st visit, a comprehensive assessment proposed by the WHO-ICOPE model is conducted to identify eight possible health problems including malnutrition, reduced physical fitness, fall risk, cognitive decline, insomnia, pain, psychological distress and social loneliness. After health problem identification, each participant receives a personalized care prescription. 2nd visit adopts a goal-oriented empowerment 3-step cycle to personalize the care planning: 1) communicating assessment results to increase healthy self-awareness; 2) supporting setting person-directed goals to address health problems; 3) identifying health actions and personalizing goal setting to participants' contexts. The 12-week healthy aging empowerment comprises three core activities for healthy aging promotion, including interactive health education, health message broadcasts, and three case conferences for goal monitoring and health counseling.
