Care for Me, Too: A Novel Framework for Improved Communication and Support Between Dementia Caregivers and the Home Health Care Team

Julia G. Burgdorf et al.

Summary: This study investigates the perspectives of caregivers of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) patients on communication and support from the home health (HH) care team. The findings reveal four major support needs identified by caregivers: assistance with insurance and service coverage, training on nursing tasks, referral to respite care, and information on ADRD disease progression. However, caregivers face barriers such as not being directly asked about their needs and information discontinuity within the HH care team. Based on the results, a new model of assessment and support is proposed to address these gaps.
