The municipalities in Denmark are obliged to offer home visits twice a year to all citizens 75 years and older. After six years with this law, there is still variation of how the law is managed and implemented. More than the half have systematically used the visits to collect information of community needs and older people' wishes to be used for administrative and political purposes. In a prospective, controlled, feasibility study conducted over a 3-year period we found that a brief, manageable and ongoing educational intervention towards professionals working with preventive home visits is feasible and improves older people's functional mobility.
