Translation of COPE for Publicly-Funded Home Care Clients and their Families

Description: PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Dementia, which includes Alzheimer's disease and other brain diseases causing irreversible cognitive decline, is a rapidly growing public health problem in the United States and worldwide. Individuals living at home with dementia and their families can benefit from carefully tested programs that teach them how to manage symptoms, but these programs are not widely available. This study will introduce such a beneficial dementia care program known as Care of Persons with Dementia in their Environments, or COPE, into Connecticut's publicly-funded home care program for older adults who are at high risk for admission to nursing homes, and will report on its success and how to implement COPE into similar home care programs for older adults that operate in every state in the United States.
