Development and Validation of a New Prediction Tool for Worsening Cognitive Performance Among Home Care Clients

Plain Language Summary: We set out to create a new tool to give people an idea about their risk for their cognitive performance getting worse over six months. This new tool was created using data on about 40,000 people getting home care. The new tool gives home care staff information about someone’s risk. This will help them as they make key choices in providing care to older people living at home and getting home care.
