Summary

This study tests a web-based support program called Hospital GamePlan4Care for caregivers of veterans with dementia who are discharged from skilled nursing facilities to home. Fifty-five caregivers will receive either the program (website, emails, and phone coaching) or basic health education. The goal is to see if the program is feasible and helps reduce caregivers' unmet needs and stress.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Hospital GamePlan4Care (web-based skills training and phone support)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide a practical, scalable way to support caregivers of veterans with dementia, reducing their stress and unmet needs.
What could go wrong: This is a small early-stage trial (55 participants) testing feasibility, not effectiveness. The program may not show clear benefits over basic education, and results may not apply to all caregivers.
