Conclusion
This study provides insight into the benefits of an integrated care service. Our findings suggest that the new anticipatory, multidisciplinary care service may have improved the overall wellbeing and quality of life of older people living with frailty at 2-4 weeks and the improvement in wellbeing was sustained at three months. However, change in the quality of life was not maintained at three months. The effectiveness of the new integrated care service on the outcomes of frailty, such as dependency, hospitalisation and mortality, should be considered in further studies but this initial evaluation shows real promise.
