This is a qualitative study that aims to better understand the perceived benefits, unmet needs, and challenges of participating in rehabilitation among older adults who are hospitalized with advanced heart failure (HF).  Investigators will conduct semi-structured interviews with patients and care partners to identify themes about the experience of rehabilitation in advanced HF. Those themes will be used to inform the human-centered development of an integrative rehabilitation intervention for this population.
