Summary

Following institutionalization of a relative with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD), family carers continue to provide care and must learn to negotiate with staff, and navigate the system, all of which can affect their mental health. A web-based intervention, My Tools 4 Care - In Care (MT4C-In Care) will be developed to aid carers through the transitions experienced when their frail older relative/friend with ADRD resides a in Long-Term Care Facility (LTC).

A mixed method pre-post-test longitudinal feasibility study will be used to evaluate MT4C-In Care for feasibility, acceptability, ease of use, and satisfaction. In addition, the investigators expect that MT4C-In Care will improve carers hope, general self-efficacy, quality of life, and reduce their feelings of loss and grief. Following baseline data collection 40 carers of persons with ADRD will be given access to MT4C-In Care over a 2 month period. Measures will be collected at baseline, 1, and 2 months.
