Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Caregivers
In brief
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether an evidence-based caregiver support program (Hospital GamePlan4Care) can benefit caregivers of hospitalized Veterans with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementia who are discharged to skilled nursing facilities prior to returning home. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is Hospital GamePlan4Care feasible and acceptable to caregivers? * Does Hospital GamePlan4Care improve caregiver-reported outcomes? Researchers will compare Hospital GamePlan4Care to health education to see if it improves caregiver reported outcomes. Participants in the Hospital GamePlan4Care arm will receive tailored skills training and support. Participants will be asked to: * Complete tailored skills training on the Hospital GamePlan4Care website * Complete four phone calls with a dementia care specialist to receive tailored training and support * Complete questionnaires at enrollment, one month, and three months after enrollment. * Complete an interview at three months Participants in the health education arm will receive education materials for caregivers. Participants will be asked to: * Review the education materials * Complete four phone calls with a dementia care specialist to review the materials * Complete questionnaires at enrollment, one month, and three months after enrollment.
