The aim of this project is to determine the various and most prominent barriers family caregivers face which hinder their ability to provide adequate care and safety in order to allow people with dementia to remain in their homes and community.
This project will utilize a survey/ questionnaire to gain information from family members who have institutionalized their loved ones with dementia and gain insight into the reasons they felt institutionalization was necessary.
If the barriers to keeping people with dementia at home safely with family caregivers can be identified a group protocol can be established to provide occupational therapy to family caregivers and the dementia patients receiving the care to help caregivers reduce and cope with barriers they face when caring for their family member with dementia, educate the caregiver on ways to provide adequate and safe care to their family member, and provide resources for family members to utilize.
