Project Home Evaluation

CITRA investigators were selected to evaluate Project Home, a three-year demonstration program, funded by the NYS Department of Health and implemented by Loretto Health Care in Syracuse, NY. The ultimate goal of Project Home is to make it possible for any Onondaga County resident, 65 years of age and older, who is being discharged from a hospital to nursing home care, to have the opportunity to pursue the option of living at home or in an appropriate community setting, when such a setting can meet their needs safely and can be provided within the limits of available resources.

The evaluation will measure two types of anticipated outcomes of Project Home: cost savings and anticipated participant well-being.
