Preparing Successful Aging Through Dementia Literacy Education And Navigation (PLAN)-Home

Conditions studied: Dementia

In brief

Rapid growth in elderly population and higher prevalence of dementia necessitates further attention to dementia. Even though early detection and continuing care are mainstays of dementia care, limited access to dementia diagnosis and dementia care planning for elders could be attributed to factors like low dementia literacy-the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic dementia-related information and services to make appropriate health decisions-and lack of social support. Developing innovative pathways to transition families of individuals with probable dementia into healthcare access for early diagnosis of dementia and timely dementia care planning can benefit patients and the patients' families. To this end, the investigators' study aims are to develop a home-based intervention program for dementia evaluation, education, and care planning and test its feasibility and acceptability in a pilot study.
