Objective To discuss the advantages of the rehabilitation management combined with the integrated medical and elderly care contract model for elderly patients with chronic diseases. Methods Through the chronic disease management practice of 60 elderly people from January to December 2023, the patients were divided into a control group (30 cases) and an observation group (30 cases). The control group consisted of elderly patients with chronic diseases who did not sign the contract, while the observation group received the integrated medical and elderly care contract and was provided with comprehensive services such as disease treatment, rehabilitation, chronic disease management, and daily life care. The quality of life index of the elderly patients with chronic diseases in the observation group was compared 6 to 12 months before and after receiving the integrated medical and elderly care contract, and the rehabilitation management situations of the two groups of elderly patients with chronic diseases were compared. Results showed that the quality of life index of the observation group was higher after receiving the integrated medical and elderly care contract, and the rehabilitation management situation of the observation group was better. The data changes were of significant statistical significance (P < 0.05). Conclusion The integrated medical and elderly care contract model has a significant effect on improving or maintaining the rehabilitation management ability of the elderly with chronic diseases, improving the quality of life, and delaying the occurrence of complications. It is worthy of popularization and application.
