Study Summary
This project is the pilot phase of a pragmatic randomized clinical trial comparing outcomes among older adults with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) receiving home-delivered meals. This pilot will test and validate vital elements and procedures including: 1) enrolling persons with ADRD on Meals on Wheels (MOW) programs' waiting lists to receive one of the two types of meals; 2) recruiting a subsample of participants and caregivers to participate in telephone interviews; 3) extracting and transferring program data to Brown University; 4) linking participant data with Medicare and nursing home assessment data. Persons with ADRD receiving meals and their caregivers will be recruited to pilot interview guides. The interviews will provide important process and mechanistic information about the experiences receiving meals and participants' outcomes.
Primary Outcome
We report the restricted mean survival time, which is the average time free from an event (i.e., nursing home placement) up until 180 days or death, whichever comes first.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Bi-weekly frozen meal home delivery
- BEHAVIORAL Daily home meal delivery
