NCT ID NCT05866094

Summary

This study tested a training program and toolkit to help home care workers and family members provide better nutritional support for people with dementia living at home. Researchers worked with caregivers and people with dementia to adapt the program, then trained home care workers to use it. The goal was to see if this approach was practical and acceptable, and to gather early information on its effects on weight and quality of life.
