Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a comprehensive model for integrating both primary and specialty Palliative Care for older adults with dementia into nursing facilities. Palliative Care is a supportive care approach that aims to improve the quality of life of patients and their families facing serious or life-threatening illnesses, through the prevention and relief of suffering through the treatment of pain and other problems, using physical, psychosocial and spiritual approaches. Palliative care is specialized medical care for people who are living with a serious illness. This type of care is focused on providing relief from the symptoms and from the stress of the illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both patient and family. The UPLIFT-AD model will include providing education on primary Palliative Care for residents with dementia to nursing facility staff, training nursing facility staff in providing primary Palliative Care, and providing access to specialty Palliative Care consultations for residents. To help understand the impact of these interventions, this study will also collect information about resident health, the care they receive, and perceptions of their quality of life according to both family members and nursing facility staff.
Primary Outcome
Nursing home staff and family members reported symptom frequency and intensity for 18 symptoms in the past 30 days. Symptom assessment was derived from the End-of-Life in Dementia Comfort Assessment in Dying (EOLD-CAD) and End-of-Life in Dementia Symptom Management (EOLD-SM) instruments. These symptoms included pain, discomfort, shortness of breath, choking, gurgling, difficulty swallowing, skin breakdown, restlessness, agitation, anxiety, depression, fear, crying, moaning, resistiveness to care
