Current home care service are to a large extent task oriented with a limited focus on care recipient\'s involvement. Furthermore, studies have shown that low care recipients\' involvement might decrease older people\'s quality of life. Person-centred care focusing on involvement has improved the quality of life and the satisfaction with care for older people in health care and nursing homes but there is a lack of knowledge about the effects and meaning of a person-centred interventions in aged care at home. Present study describes the evaluation of a person-centred and health-promoting intervention.
