Introduction: Rehabilitation in home has become a strategy to meet the needs of an increasing aging population. Home rehabilitation aims to promote independence and to enable older adults to remain in ordinary homes for as long as possible [1], in line with many older adults wishes [2, 3]. The home is often associated with a sense of at-homeness and identity [4-6] where the home and neighbourhood become more important during aging. The home rehabilitation strategy is in accordance with the Swedish transition to Good quality, local health care, with a focus on developing person-centred working methods. However, although home rehabilitation interventions often are characterised as person-centred, all participants may not experience them as such [7], and there is a lack of scientific knowledge from user perspective to inform home rehabilitation initiatives. The purpose of this study was to explore valuable aspects of home rehabilitation experienced by older adults [8]. Method: Nine older adults and five spouses were interviewed about their experiences of receiving a municipal home rehabilitation intervention in their homes. Nine de-identified interviews were analysed as secondary data through qualitative content analysis. Findings: A familiar home environment with inclusive collaborations and the mastery of everyday life were valuable aspects for older adults in home rehabilitation. The creation of a tailored rehabilitation together with competent professionals through mutual trust gave a feeling of security in the home which was also considered valuable. The result indicate that the professionals had the ability to build partnerships based on each older adult’s unique situation. Conclusions: The home as context for rehabilitation seems to have potential to create conditions for a person-centred practice. When rehabilitation professionals have the competence and skills to use the home as an arena for inclusive collaboration, a person-centred process with person-centred outcomes will be able to take place.
