We explored the effect of a designated goal facilitation tool (TARGET—Towards Achieving Realistic Goal in Elders Tool) [18] (see Supplementary data available in Age and Ageing online, appendix) on HRQoL among a sample of community-dwelling older people referred for homecare in Auckland, New Zealand. In the current study, the assessment portion of the tool incorporated cognition, nutrition, functional ability, vision and hearing, continence and informal care.
