CAPABLE Family Pilot - Adapting CAPABLE for Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)/Early Stage Dementia and Their Care Partners

Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the adapted protocol, CAPABLE Family which builds upon the evidenced based CAPABLE program to address older adults with co-occurring physical disability and mild cognitive impairment or early stage dementia and the older adults' caregivers. It will consist of two phases - an open label pilot and waitlist control trial.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

CAPABLE Family - Open Label Pilot

As in CAPABLE (NA\_00031539), the delivery characteristics of CAPABLE Family consist of an assessment-driven, individually tailored package of interventions delivered over the course of 4 months by an occupational therapist (OT) (\~6 home visits for ≤ 1hour), a registered nurse (RN) (\~4 home visits for ≤ 1hour) and a handy worker (HW). Adaptations for cognitive decline will be made on a per-client basis as part of the open-label pilot. Topics of adaptations include problem areas addresses, care partner involvement, length/frequency of visits, types of assessments and questions asked, and brainstorming/action planning structure.

BEHAVIORAL

CAPABLE Family - Randomized Control Trial

As in CAPABLE (NA\_00031539), the delivery characteristics of CAPABLE Family consist of an assessment-driven, individually tailored package of interventions delivered over the course of 4 months by an occupational therapist (OT) (\~6 home visits for ≤ 1hour), a registered nurse (RN) (\~4 home visits for ≤ 1hour) and a handy worker (HW). Refinements based on the open label pilot results will be included.
