Summary

This trial will test a team care model focused on cognitive vulnerability (the 3Ds) in order to improve outcomes for older adults.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for older adults living at home or in assisted living with dementia, depression, or recent delirium. They should plan to stay local for a year and speak English. It's not for those with schizophrenia/bipolar disorder, bedbound/non-communicative individuals, those expected to live less than a year, or if already in the comparator program.
What is being tested?
The study tests a Home Based Care Team model led by nurse practitioners against regular telephone check-ins. The goal is to see if this approach reduces hospital visits and improves depression symptoms, disability levels, and overall quality of life.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves care models rather than medications, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be emotional or psychological impacts from receiving different levels of attention and care.
