Can monthly nurse calls ease the burden of dementia at home?

NCT ID NCT03881579

Summary

This study is testing whether a year-long support program led by a nurse can help people with dementia and their caregivers. 200 participants from a Stanford research center are randomly assigned to receive either their usual care or usual care plus monthly phone/video sessions with a nurse. The goal is to see if this extra support improves symptom control, helps with future care planning, and reduces stress for family caregivers.
