The goal of this experimental study is to learn if cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) helps improve cognitive functioning and engagement in individuals with mild-to-moderate dementia who reside in skilled nursing facilities. It will also help introduce CST into long-term care facilities in the Northern Kentucky region and provide evidence to support reimbursement for occupational therapy (OT) services in memory care. The main question it aims to answer is: Is there a significant difference in cognitive functioning and engagement between individuals with mild-to-moderate dementia who reside in skilled nursing facilities and receive cognitive stimulation compared to individuals receiving maintenance-level services? Researchers will compare CST (themed grouped sessions with activites related to their childhood, sounds, word and number games, current affairs, being creative, word association, physical games, quizzes, and orientation) to maintenance-level services (activities performed in the activities room) to see if there is a significant difference in cognition and engagement in residents who receive CST versus their regular maintenance level services. Participants will receive either CST or maintenance-level services for 45-minutes twice weekly for 7-weeks led by two doctor of occupational therapy students under the supervision of a licensed occupational therapist in the state of Indiana and the sites activity director, complete assessments before and after the 7-weeks to measure changes in cognitive function and engagement, along with participating in a screening assessment before the start of the study. This study will also support the OT profession by enhancing practitioners' skills in dementia care and contributing evidence for policy and reimbursement discussions.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare three care models for optimizing medications and preventing falls with broken bones in patients receiving rehabilitation after a hospitalization for a broken bone. The primary outcome is injurious falls, with secondary outcomes measuring how the process of care is changed and capturing patient-reported outcomes valued by stakeholders. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Which of the three models is more effective in preventing falls with fractures? * What are the differences in patient-centered outcomes amongst the three models? These include pain, depression, anxiety, sleep, medication side effect burden, and fear of falling. * What are the differences in osteoporosis treatment and medication burden? The three care models are: a Deprescribing Care Model designed to reduce or stop fall-related medications, a Bone Heath Service Model designed to provide osteoporosis evaluation and management, and an Injury Prevention Service Model offering both services. 42 SNFs will participate in this study. The three models will be incorporated into the routine care of patients at these facilities who are receiving rehabilitation after a hospitalization for a fracture. All care models will be delivered remotely to patients in the SNF and after they transition home by a post-fracture nurse consultant supported by an interprofessional team. This study has three aims. See Detailed Description for more details. This ClinicalTrials.gov record represents the Comparative Effectiveness Aim of the protocol.

Home-Based Care for Rehabilitation

Springfield, Massachusetts
Skilled Nursing Facility at Home is a multicenter randomized control trial that aims to evaluate a home-based model of providing post-acute care (PAC). We will enroll 650 hospitalized patients who require rehabilitation and/or skilled-nursing support upon discharge and randomly assign them to an intervention (home-based PAC) or control arm (facility-based PAC). Our design includes two different health systems in Massachusetts: Baystate Health and UMass Memorial Health. We will perform 1:1 randomization between the intervention and control arm using a permuted block design, with stratification by clinical site and payor group. The primary outcome of the trial will be the difference in hospital readmission and mortality rates from the time of enrollment to 30 days after enrollment. Secondary clinical, functional, and cost outcomes include length of stay in PAC, difference in health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and healthcare cost and utilization.

We will perform a parallel-group multicenter patient-level randomized controlled evaluation of skilled nursing facility care at home. Patients typically referred to a skilled nursing facility following hospitalization will be eligible for enrollment. Instead of admission to a skilled nursing facility, participants will receive care from a technology-enabled team in their own homes or will be allocated to receive care in a traditional skilled nursing facility setting.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if it is possible to deliver a palliative care intervention called ALIGN (Assessing and Listening to Individual Goals and Needs) to hospitalized older adults with advanced cancer who are discharged to a skilled nursing facility and their caregivers. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can the investigator successfully deliver the ALIGN intervention in different skilled community nursing facilities? * Can the investigator successfully collect information from participants throughout the study? * How can the investigator best prepare caregivers to make medical decisions for loved ones that become unable to do so themselves? Researchers will compare ALIGN to care as it is usually delivered. Participants will: * Visit virtually with an ALIGN palliative care social worker every 1-2 weeks during their skilled nursing facility stay and up to 45 days after discharge from the facility or will see a palliative care clinician if recommended by their oncologist or other involved clinician. * Participants will provide information about how they are doing 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after enrolling in the study.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Skilled Nursing Facility clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Skilled Nursing Facility clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Skilled Nursing Facility trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Skilled Nursing Facility is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Skilled Nursing Facility medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Skilled Nursing Facility clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Cognitive Stimulation Therapy for Dementia, ALIGN for Older Adults With Cancer and Injury Prevention Care Models for Osteoporosis to the Power online platform.
