Summary

This study tests a program called DECLARE that helps caregivers of people with dementia who receive home health care. Caregivers will answer a short assessment and get faster access to a social worker trained in dementia care. Researchers want to see if this improves caregiver confidence and increases social work visits. The study involves 200 caregivers and compares the program to usual care.
