Researchers are evaluating the impact of a temporary accommodation program (HTSH) on the length of hospital stays for elderly patients in the Ile-de-France region. This observational, non-interventional study involves multiple hospital departments and nursing home or long-term care units. The program is designed to provide short-term nursing home stays for elderly people discharged from hospital who cannot immediately return home due to their stabilized but complex social or medical situations. The study is supported by the Regional Health Agency of Ile-de-France. The study does not involve investigational drugs or specific interventions but rather observes the medical and social care pathways for elderly patients using HTSH beds. These beds are grouped in dedicated units with specialized staff, funded and maintained by the Regional Health Agency. The program aims to assess whether HTSH improves patient care and facilitates decisions about returning home. Participants will be followed for up to 24 months to measure outcomes including the length of hospital stays in referring services. Data collection includes documentation of consent, evaluation of social and medical care, and follow-up on patients' return home plans. Caregivers and healthcare professionals involved in the HTSH circuit may also participate by providing information through questionnaires. The study observes real-life care processes without altering patient treatment.
