Abstract: This report presents and discusses evidence from several European countries on measures to prevent or delay onset of disability in old age. It considers measures to reduce the disabling impact of chronic health conditions rather than measures to prevent such conditions. The report focuses on prevention of social isolation and loneliness, reablement services and prevention of falls. It places emphasis on measures that enable disabled older people to remain in the community and avoid or delay admission to residential care. A rapid review of the literature was conducted and a review was made of the country reports prepared by the Network on recent developments on long-term care quality in European countries.
