Supportive Care for Cognitively Impaired Patients and Families
This trial tests whether a year-long nurse-led palliative care program improves quality of life and reduces healthcare use for people living with dementia or mild cognitive impairment and their caregivers. It is a behavioral intervention study — meaning no drugs, just structured supportive care. The goal is to see if getting this kind of support early makes a real difference for patients and families managing cognitive decline at home.
