Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Adult Day Programs, Continuing Care, Old Age; Dementia, Family/Friend Caregivers
In brief
This study seeks to understand the effects of adult day programs on older adults, especially those with dementia, and their caregivers. A prospective cohort study will be conducted in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Ontario. Participants will be (1) older adults with dementia who attend a day program, and their caregivers, and (2) older adults with dementia in the community who do not attend a day program, and their caregivers. The objectives are to (1) evaluate the effects of day programs on attendee and caregiver outcomes, and (2) compare day program use patterns, attendee and caregiver social identities, day program characteristics, and day program outcomes between the 4 provinces, and (3) to explore what attendee and caregiver social identities and day program characteristics are associated with study outcomes, and with day program attendance/non-attendance.
