Traditional home care and required rehabilitation efforts as by the municipality's current practice. Includes the same professions as is included in the reablement intervention, but the team has had no joint college course, does not use the systematic goal-directed and negotiated approach as the reablement intervention, and has about half the time per participant as compared to the reablement intervention.

Self-assessed health-related quality of life in five dimensions, i.e. mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression, is measured with EQ-5D-5L (Herdman et al., 2011). Each of the five dimensions is rated on a five level response scale, which is coded and reported from 1 (no problems) to 5 (extreme problems).

Mental health is mirrored with a short version of the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation - Outcome Measure (CORE-OM; Elfström et al. 2013, Evans, et al., 2002), called General Practitioner (GP-)CORE (Sinclair et al. 2005). The 14 items in GP-CORE are summarized and divided by 14, forming a total mean score ranging from 0 (no psychological distress) to 4 (maximum psychological distress).

Participants' ratings from the Health as Ability of Acting questionnaire (HACT; Snellman et al. 2011) are categorized into one of three health groups:

Good health: (a) Fulfilled vital goals or (b) the person possesses the ability to achieve the unfulfilled vital goals and the intention to use this ability or (c) experiencing a certain degree of ability to achieve vital goals and have the intention to use the ability.

Acceptable health: (a) Unfulfilled vital goals. The person have a certain degree of ability to achieve goals and the intention to use the ability. (b) Unfulfilled vital goals. The person have a certain degree of ability to achieve these goals but have no intention to use the ability.

Poor health: (a) experiencing a certain degree of ability to achieve vital goals, judged as important, and the intention to use the ability. (b) Unfulfilled vital goals. The person lacks the ability to achieve the unfulfilled goal or goals, despite judging them as important.

Self-assessed activity performance satisfaction is estimated with interviewer administered Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM; Law et al., 1990). In relation to a central activity problem area that the participants' themselves chose during the interview, the participants' are asked how well they think they can perform up to the five most important activities that relate to the central activity problem area. Then the participants are asked how satisfied they are with their performance, rating each activity performance satisfaction from 1 to 10. Then a mean value is calculated by dividing the sum of activity performance satisfaction ratings by the number of rated activities, giving a mean that can range from 1 (not at all satisfied) to 10 (extremely satisfied).

Self-assessed activity performance is estimated with interviewer administered Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM; Law et al., 1990). In relation to a central activity problem area that the participants' themselves chose during the interview, the participants' are asked how well they think they can perform up to the five most important activities that relate to the central activity problem area. The participants rate each activity from 1 to 10 regarding how well the can perform the activity. Then a mean value is calculated by dividing the sum of activity performance by the number of activities, giving a mean that can range from 1 (cannot perform the activity at all) to 10 (can perform the activity extremely well).

Lower extremities physical activity performance is measured by a trained administrator with the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB; Guralnik et al., 1994). The SPPB is calculated from three components: the ability to stand for up to 10 seconds with feet positioned in three ways; time to complete a 3-m walk; and time to rise from a chair five times. Each component is scored from 0 to 4, with the scores from the three tests summed to give a total, with a maximum of 12 and a minimum of 0. A higher score indicates a higher level of function, while lower scores indicate a lower level of function.

Upper extremities physical activity performance is measured with a hand dynamometer test (Mathiowetz et al., 1985). The Jamar hydrolic hand dynamometer model J00105 is used. The test of each hand is repeated 3 times, and the average is scored by the trained administrator as the recorded result. The resulting grip strength may vary from 0 kilograms (no grip strength) to 90 kilograms (maximum grip strength).
