NCT ID NCT06850870

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study tests whether a door-through-door rideshare service, where a trained companion helps participants from their home into the doctor's office, can reduce missed medical appointments for older adults with Alzheimer's or related dementias. About 120 participants will be randomly assigned to either this full-service ride or a standard curb-to-curb ride. The goal is to see if the extra support improves appointment attendance and quality of life.
