Assessing the Impact of DAy Programs on Individuals Living with Dementia and Their Family/friend Caregivers
This Canadian study is tracking older adults with dementia who attend adult day programs and comparing them over time to similar people who do not attend. Researchers want to see how day programs affect the wellbeing of both participants and their family caregivers across four provinces. It is an observational study, not a drug trial, meaning no phase applies and nothing experimental is being tested.
You may qualify if
- Older adults (65+ years) with a diagnosis of dementia, who live in the community, and either attend an adult day program (cohort 1), or receive continuing care in the community with an initial RAI-HC assessment completed (cohort 2)
- Primary caregiver (i.e., most involved with and informed about the care) of an eligible older adult
You're excluded if
- Older adults with or without dementia who do not receive any community-based continuing care service
- Day program attendees or community care recipients who do not have a diagnosis of dementia or who are younger than 65 years
- Secondary caregivers
