Connecting Dementia Caregivers to Recommended Services: Care to Plan
Abstract:
The current mixed methods, embedded study evaluated the use of an online tool (Care to Plan [CtP]) that generates tailored service and support recommendations for dementia caregivers as well as information that can connect dementia caregiver users to recommended resources. Forty-three dementia caregivers identified in a health care system were randomly assigned to receive either CtP or usual care. The embedded, mixed methods design resulted in no quantitative, direct evidence for CtP's efficacy. Qualitative data revealed important insights into facilitators of and barriers to CtP use. Qualitative data also demonstrated that CtP helped caregivers obtain a better awareness of their needs and experiences. Clinicians may find CtP useful as an initial tool to spur memory care/case management and facilitate conversations about caregivers' needs and resources to meet individualized challenges.
