Can better home care training calm Dementia's storm?

NCT ID NCT06021704

Summary

This study is testing whether giving home health aides extra training in dementia care helps reduce difficult behaviors in older adults with memory problems and improves their quality of life, as well as the well-being of their family caregivers. It will involve 60 pairs of patients and their family caregivers, who will be randomly assigned to receive care from aides with either standard or enhanced training. The goal is to see if the extra training helps people stay more comfortably in their own homes.
