The purpose of this study is to develop and examine the preliminary effects of a smart cloth care system for facilitating family caregiving for persons with dementia in the home setting. This will be a three-year study, with the first two years to explore the feasibility of such a smart cloth care system and the third year to pilot test its effects. During the third year, a quasi experimental design will be implemented and the outcomes of caregivers and persons with dementia will be followed for 6 months.
