Method: This is a descriptive exploratory study incorporating retrospective data collection. Results: Of the 826 adult patients supported by HCP/CHG (median follow-up of 21 days and five visits), the majority were female (53.9%) and over 65 years of age (50.6%). The main pathologies were thromboembolism (10.9%) and cerebrovascular accident (10.3%). The main demands in terms of nursing care were dressing (32.4%) and monitoring blood glucose levels (19.7%).

The nuclear structure was signifi cantly associated with female gender (PR = 0.77; p = 0.025) and smoking (PR = 1.35; p = 0.009). the results reinforce the need to maintain a network of formal and informal support to the elderly and their families to preserve the independence or to postpone the decline in functional capacity.
