Pilot Study of Hospital GamePlan4Care
This trial is testing a caregiver support program called Hospital GamePlan4Care against a standard health education program. Both are designed to help family members and friends manage the transition when a Veteran with dementia comes home from the hospital. It is a pilot study, meaning it is a small early test focused on whether the program is feasible and helpful before anything larger is planned. This is a behavioral program, not a drug trial.
