The purpose of the study was to assess the feasibility of implementing simple, safe, non-equipment evidence-based movements (Healthy Moves for Aging Well program) using an affordable and sustainable homecare-aide based delivery model that reaches the maximum possi-ble number of frail older adults living at home in Illinois. Two local agen-cies were asked to identify two experienced home care aides and two inexperienced home care aides (n=8). Each home care aides delivered the Healthy Moves to four clients (n=16). Eight home care aides visited the client in the home and were asked to deliver the Healthy Moves program on a regular basis for a four-month time period. Outcome mea-sures included a pre-and post- survey, a functional fitness test (older adults), and interviews. Evaluation procedures focused on older adult participants, homecare aids, and sites. The results showed that both interview and survey data revealed that most participants including older adults, home care aides, and site directors had a positive percep-tion and high satisfaction with the program. Specially, 100% of older adult participants reported that they would recommend the program to others. Additionally, seniors and home care aides reported that they en-joyed working with each other on the program and both site directors reported that dissemination of the program in the State of Illinois em-ploying home care aides was feasible and acceptable. Our study re-sults indicate that Healthy Moves for Aging Well could be safely and successfully be disseminated to frail older adults in the State of Illinois.
