Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The Plans4Care study is a research study funded by the National Institute on Aging (Grant# R44AG084365). The Plans4Care app is designed to help family caregivers address over 90 common care challenges such as behavioral symptoms (anxiety, agitation), functional changes and other concerns, and receive an action plan which provides easy-to-use non-drug strategies, resources, tips and education.

The goal of the study is to evaluate whether using the Plans4Care app will help you feel more confident providing care to your family member with dementia, better understand dementia, and enhance your own well-being. You also have the option to talk with a care advisor who can practice use of strategies or address concerns you may have.
