The intervention of the study involves providing nursing care to the elderly individual and caregivers using care plans designed by the researcher, utilizing a validated scale. The adapted scale provides a comprehensive geriatric assessment. Emerging issues will be evaluated using NANDA diagnoses and NIC interventions/NOC outcomes. Individuals in the intervention group will be followed up for 6 months with these care plans. No interventions other than the services provided under ESH will be performed on individuals in the control group. The adapted questionnaire and specified scales will be administered simultaneously at the initial interview (0 months) and at 6 months for individuals in this group.
