Brief Summary
Action Falls is a programme that helps older adults avoid falls and injuries. It finds out why someone might fall and suggests ways to help, like checking their medication and encouraging them to stay active. It was created to try and prevent falls in care homes. It includes training for care home staff, a manual, and a checklist of what to look out for and what to do. Home care providers, local care groups, and older adults who live in the community think Action Falls could be useful too, to help reduce the number of falls in older adults who live at home. The investigators have identified that the programme could be particularly useful for older people who are supported by home care services. The goal of this project is to develop ways to deliver and keep the programme running for older people supported by home care services. A future study will then try it out and see it helps people manage falls in home care. The first part aims to plan and make changes to the current Action Falls programme to make sure it is suitable for use in home care settings. The investigators will do this by * observing what happens on home care visits * asking people who are supported by and who deliver home care how the programme needs to be changed. In a future study the investigators will then deliver the programme across home care in Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire and evaluate how well it has worked. The study will focus on coastal and rural areas.
