Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • People will be invited to participate provided they meet the following inclusion criteria:\-
  • a) Admitted as an inpatient to an Eastern Health hospital
  • b) Adults greater than or equal to 50 years of age because from 50 years of age risk of falling and incidence rates of hip fracture rise dramatically
  • c) Primary diagnosis of hip fracture as determined by the International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition codes S72\.00 \- S72\.11
  • d) Living in a private residence in the community prior to the hip fracture
  • e) Not demonstrating risk factors at admission that would suggest a length of stay greater than 28 days (eg. Particularly complex social situation or extensive co\-morbidities)

Exclusion Criteria

  • Participants will be excluded if they are:
  • a) Admitted from a residential care facility because this population would not be expected to receive a home assessment visit
  • b) Patients who fracture their hip during an inpatient admission because this would not be a primary diagnosis
  • c) Assessed as having impaired cognition and do not have a carer or responsible person who can give informed consent
  • d) Planned to be discharged to a residential aged care facility because a home visit would not normally be considered as a component of the discharge plan for these patients
  • e) Living in a location more than 1 hour by car from the hospital because it would not be practical to complete a home assessment visit due to distance
