Training and supporting homecare staff in reablement aims to change staff behavior from "doing for" to "doing with" older adults and is assumed to benefit the health and quality of life of older adults and reduce healthcare utilization and costs. This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of the staff reablement training program "Stay Active at Home" (SAaH) from a societal perspective.
