NCT07563270
This study is recruiting at 2 US sites in 2 states, according to its ClinicalTrials.gov record last updated .
Summary
Persons living with dementia (PLWD) are at significantly increased risk for falls, which are the leading cause of emergency department (ED) visits in this population and contribute to serious injuries, functional decline, and caregiver burden. GAPcareAD is an ED-initiated, caregiver-inclusive intervention designed to address fall risk at the point of care. This multi-site trial will compare GAPcareAD (intervention) to usual care for 350 PLWD and caregivers after a fall.
