Summary
This study tests a care management checklist designed to guide end-of-life care and hospice transitions for people with advanced dementia and their care partners. Researchers will work with a home healthcare agency to see if the checklist is feasible, acceptable, and usable. The study involves 96 participants and focuses on improving the transition process rather than treating the disease itself.
