Advance Care Planning in Dementia
(IRB#: IRB_00132042)
Advanced care planning is important for adults, but maybe even more for people with memory loss. This disease can leave end-of-life decision-making up to the care partner. Often, the care partner does not know how to make the best decisions in the situation. Research is needed to improve and evaluate a website called LEAD Intervention (Life-Planning in Early Alzheimers and Dementia). LEAD is designed to help persons with memory loss have conversations, document, and share their end-of-life decisions with a care partner, extended family, and healthcare providers.
