Description
Zainab Toteh Osakwe, Michelle Odlum, Amarilis Céspedes, and Sasha Perez study how home health aides view telehealth for patients with dementia, in a paper from 2023. The pandemic pushed home care visits onto video at speed. Patients with dementia lean on aides to voice their needs to the care team. The team asked whether remote visits truly work for that group.
They interviewed twenty-five aides from four agencies in the summer of 2020. Aides favored platforms with live video, since faces make the talk feel human. They saw telehealth as a supplement, never a swap, for in-person nurse visits. Handling a tablet while giving hands-on care added strain. Many also felt their training on the tools was too thin. The authors urge agencies to plan telehealth with aides, not around them.
