Summary

The present study will refine and conduct a preliminary efficacy evaluation of Care to Plan. Care to Plan is an online care planning tool that provides a succinct and clear overview of various types of dementia caregiver interventions, administers a brief validated assessment of risk, and generates individualized recommendations for dementia caregivers as well as resources that link users to a selected recommendation.

There remains a lack of individualized information that can directly meet the diverse needs of caregivers or their relatives with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia (ADRD). This project will advance scientific knowledge, technical capability, and clinical practice as they pertain to ADRD management and caregiver support.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Care to Plan

Care to Plan (CtP) is an online care planning tool that provides a succinct and clear overview of various types of ADRD caregiver interventions, administers a brief validated assessment of risk, and generates individualized service recommendations for Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) caregivers as well as resources that link users to a selected recommendation. Caregivers will complete the tool with the guidance of a CtP interventionist (Senior Care Navigator/Riverside Health System staff). The interventionist will discuss CtP recommendations with caregivers and help caregivers enroll in a recommended support service if so desired.

BEHAVIORAL

Usual Care

Receive care as usual. Note: If eligible, participants in this control group will be asked if they are interested in enrolling in a similar, additional feature of the study to test the Care to Plan tool following the initial 6-month study.
