Summary

This study was designed to test whether scheduled video calls with a nurse could help family members who make medical decisions for hospitalized older adults with Alzheimer's or similar cognitive issues. The goal was to improve communication and reduce anxiety and depression. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
