Summary

This study tested an online platform called the Living Memory Home for Dementia Care Pairs (LMH-4-DCP).

The goal was to see if using the platform could reduce feelings of grief in caregivers and improve the quality of their relationship. Seventy-four care pairs participated, using the platform three times a week for two weeks.
