v) have a home telephone; and
vi) reside in an independent living environment and not in a skilled care facility.
Exclusion Criteria:
i) cognitive impairment;
ii) severe underlying illness, including: metastatic cancer, active treatment for any malignancy (excluding basal and squamous cell skin cancers), end-stage renal disease, cirrhosis, severe chronic obstructive lung disease requiring home oxygen therapy, and congestive

iii) visits in the prior 18 months to a VA endocrinology, cardiology, or nephrology clinic.
