CarePair

Recruiting

CarePair, funded by the National Institute on Aging, is a behavioral intervention designed to support family caregivers of individuals living with dementia through a mobile self-assessment and referral platform. The CarePair app connects caregivers to tailored services and support resources based on their individual needs. In this phase of the study, researchers are pilot-testing the app to evaluate its feasibility and acceptability and explore its potential to improve caregiver well-being. Participants will use study-provided caregiving resources through the app over a six-week period and complete two in-depth surveys at the beginning and end of the study, along with two brief surveys during weeks two and four. Participants who complete all study activities will receive $50.

Living Memory Home for Dementia Care Pairs

(LMH-4-DCP)

Closed to Recruitment

LMH-4-DCP, funded by the National Institute on Aging, is a web-based, reminiscence-focused intervention designed for persons living with early to moderate stages of dementia and their family caregivers. The goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the LMH-4-DCP platform and to explore its preliminary effects on outcomes such as pre-loss grief and care pair relationship quality. Participants will be asked to engage with the LMH-4-DCP platform three times per week over a two-week period. Study assessments will be conducted through surveys at baseline and again at the two-week follow-up to evaluate the platform’s impact, and participants may also be invited to complete an optional interview after the intervention period.
