Partners at Meals - Respite Care and Home (PAM) — PAM  

Weight Loss Clinical Trial

Official title:
Mealtime Partnerships for People With Dementia in Respite Centers and at Home

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this study is to test the efficacy of a mealtime intervention in respite care centers for people with dementia and their caregivers. Mealtimes become more challenging as dementia progresses causing nutritional and behavioral issues in the affected individuals. Using a train-the-trainer program built on the Partners at Meals model, volunteers in respite centers partner with caregivers and develop a mealtime plan that builds on the strengths of the person with dementia, and develop a supportive environment for change. A tele-health component is involved in the communication between the respite center volunteers/staff and families. Recruitment is limited to people attending the particular respite centers.

Clinical Trial Description

The goal of this study is to test the efficacy of a mealtime intervention (Partners at Meals) in respite care centers (RCCs) that provide a social model of care for people with dementia living in the community and support for their caregivers. Largely staffed by long-time volunteers, these centers support caregivers' ability to maintain their loved one in the home. Traditionally, support for social activities and mealtime offered by the RCCs cannot be extended to home. In this project, we will use a telehealth interface to provide consultation to family caregivers in the context of home where problems arise. Outcomes include improvements in: a) quality of life (QOL) and nutritional outcomes for people with dementia (PWD) and QOL outcomes for family caregivers (CGs); b) self-efficacy training outcomes for assessing and managing meals for the CGs and the RCC volunteers; and c) sustainability outcomes as determined by directors of the RCCs. Two large RCCs with a total of 5 sites of care in suburban and rural areas of SC will be the sites of this project. ;
