This paper discusses the findings and policy implications of an evaluation of ‘Well for Life’,a health promotion initiative that focuses on good nutrition and physical activity for frail older people in Planned Activity Groups and residential aged care facilities.The evaluation methodology employed the RE-AIM framework to identify various dimensions of program quality and public health impact.The evaluation found that Well for Life has achieved positive results in workforce development,health promotion capacity-building and linkages between aged care services and the broader primary care sector.Planned Activity Groups are a promising setting for health promotion for frail older people.Residential care settings are a more challenging environment as there are greater barriers to change in staff practices and greater frailty among residents.Further evaluation is required to inform decision-making about the focus of investment in health promotion for frail older people in the longer term.
