TL;DR: Qualitative findings portraying older persons’ experiences adapting to daily life at home after hospital discharge emphasise the importance of assessment and planning, information and education, preparation of the home environment, the involvement of the older person and caregivers and supporting self-management in the discharge and follow-up care processes at home.

TL;DR: This study explores older patients’ and their family caregivers’ perceptions regarding the food, meals and nutritional care provided in the transition between hospital and home care services, focusing on the first 30 days at home.

TL;DR: By describing the challenges the healthcare professionals face when trying to individualize the nutritional care, this study may provide important knowledge to health professionals and policy makers on how to decrease the gap between older patients’ preferences for care and nutritional care practice.

TL;DR: This study aimed to explore healthcare professionals' views on how older persons and their family caregivers participate in decisions about their own nutritional care and possible barriers for that participation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies was conducted to determine the effects of nutritional and physical exercise interventions alone or in combination after hospital admission on the risk of hospital readmission among older people.
