A total of 295 older adults were enrolled in the RCT and randomly allocated to receive the ACHRU-CPP or usual care. At the time of data collection, 53 older adults who had completed the 6-month intervention were approached to participate in the qualitative interviews and 45 accepted (84.9%). The rate of acceptance by site was as follows: site 1, 100% (10/10); site 2, 89.9% (8/9); site 3, 89.9% (8/9); site 4, 60% (6/10); site 5, 100% (8/8) and site 6, 71.4% (5/7). Out of the 45 participants, there was good uptake of home visits with a mean of 3.1 (SD=1.5) and group wellness sessions with a mean of 2.7 (SD=1.9). Where the providers deemed clinically necessary participants received more than the allotted three home visits. Competing commitments such as doctor appointments and lack of interest were barriers to attending group wellness sessions for some participants.
