Description
Emerald Jenkins adapts a home-visit program for families facing dementia plus disability in a 2024 paper. The CAPABLE program sends nurses, therapists, and handymen into older adults' homes to support aging in place, but it was not built for households where memory is also failing. The new CAPABLE-Family version targets the patient-caregiver pair together.
Fifteen clinicians were interviewed, and twelve patient-caregiver pairs shared photos and interviews about daily life. Clinicians asked for more weight on safety, memory, nutrition, and advance care planning, and families prized written, tangible reminders. A small open pilot with seven patients and six partners then tested the adapted program: daily task difficulty eased for patients, and depression and pain interference eased for partners.
