Summary
This study tested a program called the Care Ecosystem, which provides phone- and web-based support and care coordination for people with dementia and their caregivers. Over 1,200 participants from six health systems took part. The goal was to see if this approach improves quality of care, reduces emergency visits, and lowers caregiver depression in real-world settings.
