The goal of this (cost)effectiveness study is to compare care as usual with OTHER-intervention in Cerebro Vascular Accident (CVA) older adults in Geriatric Rehabilitation (GR). The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: 1. What is the effectiveness of OTHER, as compared to occupational therapy as usual (CAU), on improving the self-perceived performance in daily activities of community-dwelling older persons post-stroke over a 24-week period after initiation of OTHER or CAU, as measured longitudinally (at week 4, 13 and 26)? Secondary: 2. What is the effectiveness of OTHER on improving satisfaction with the perceived daily performance of community-dwelling persons post-stroke, 26 weeks after start compared to usual OT? (quantitative approach) 3. What is the effectiveness of OTHER on improving physical activity of community-dwelling persons post-stroke, 26 weeks after start compared to usual OT? (quantitative approach) 4. What is the effectiveness of OTHER on improving self-management of community-dwelling persons post-stroke, 26 weeks after start compared to usual OT? (quantitative approach) 5. How do persons post-stroke and OT's experience and how do they reflect on OTHER in supporting a sense of self-management, safety and improving daily functioning? (qualitative approach). 6. What factors influenced the intervention delivery and the perceived benefits in the OTHER study (process evaluation)? 1) monitoring treatment fidelity, barriers and facilitators for implementation; 2) gain insight into the impact of OTHER on the GR transition to home; 3) to gain insight into what stroke survivors and OT's think of OTHER. 4) how participants, and professionals experience and thoughts they have on the OTHER-intervention in supporting daily functioning and self-management Cost-effectiveness 7. What is the cost-effectiveness of OTHER on improving self-perceived performance in daily activities and Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) of community-dwelling persons post-stroke, 26 weeks after start compared to usual OT? (quantitative approach) Participants will get the OTHER-intervention treatment given by de occupational therapist which consists of activity monitoring, coaching and videoconferencing to optimalise the transition from clinical care to home. Researchers will compare care as usual to see if there is a effect on improving the self-perceived performance in daily activities, self-management and improving physical activity .
