Summary

This study tests whether providing palliative care at home can improve symptom management for people with advanced dementia and reduce stress for their family caregivers. About 150 patient-caregiver pairs from New York City hospitals will receive either the in-home care program or standard care. The goal is to see if this approach leads to better quality of life and fewer hospital stays.
