Description
Caring for a family member with dementia weighs heavily on African American families, and Karen Moss and co-authors lay out a pilot program built on peer support. Pair2Care pairs current carers with trained former carers as mentors. The design leans on cultural strengths: oral tradition, personal contact, and storytelling. Fifteen current and fifteen former carers will test whether the program is feasible and welcome.
The team will track recruitment, retention, satisfaction, and how well pairs follow the plan. They will also measure anxiety, depression, quality of life, and confidence in making care decisions over six months, plus interest in palliative and hospice care.
