Results: The data of 1,947 participants. The ratios of complicated care needs and severe disabilities were significantly higher in the experimental group. The two groups had similar levels of disabilities. The experimental group had significantly of depression improvement scores than the control group did. No significant difference was observed in medical resources expended before and after intervention between groups.
