Description

Kathleen Unroe, John Cagle, and Mary Ersek describe a trial called UPLIFT, from twenty twenty-three. The trial tests a way to improve care for nursing home residents with mid to late stage dementia. Two staff in each home get special training and serve as palliative care leads. All other staff get basic training in comfort care as well.

Sixteen nursing homes take part, and the trial ends in twenty twenty-five. The leads screen residents and bring in outside comfort care doctors and nurses when needed. The authors report real problems, such as leads leaving their jobs. They also note hard talks with the regular medical teams.
