The LTSS Center is testing an intervention to support long-distance family caregivers of older adults with dementia. We could use your help.
Researchers at the LTSS Center @UMass Boston are seeking volunteers to help them test an intervention designed to support long-distance caregivers of older adults with dementia who receive home care. The study is funded by the National Institutes of Health.
The intervention, called LDCare, consists of skill-building, education, and support sessions designed to address the specific needs of long-distance caregivers and reduce their caregiving-related burdens.
The seven sessions are conducted remotely by licensed social workers. Participating caregivers attend the sessions using tablets that are provided, free of charge, by the research team.
Do you know of a long-distance caregiver who would be interested in participating in the LDCare study? Please share this flyer with them and please let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks in advance for your support!
