Summary
This study tested whether giving doctors tailored information about the benefits of community-based palliative care helps more people with dementia and their families accept it. Researchers worked with 301 Medicare Advantage members who were eligible for palliative care. The goal was to see if this approach is practical and acceptable, not to cure or treat dementia.
