A recent study conducted at the Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Houston, Texas, aimed to identify the needs of caregivers of hospitalized veterans living with dementia during care transitions. The study found that caregivers often did not receive information or training related to dementia care, and desired more communication and support regarding post-discharge care. Caregivers also expressed a need for realistic expectations and consistent access to support groups. These findings will inform the development of a dementia caregiver support intervention for caregivers of hospitalized veterans with dementia. [Extracted from the article] |
