Brief Summary

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

This study will assess the feasibility and acceptability of delivering a home care role and preference guide to up to 50 family caregivers and home care aides of persons living with disability for the purpose of identifying roles between family caregivers and home care aides.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will assess the feasibility and acceptability of delivering a home care role and preference guide to family caregivers and home care aides of persons living with disability for the purpose of identifying roles between family caregivers and home care aides, as well as preliminary effects on older adult social engagement, caregiver distress, continuity, and feelings of being overwhelmed, family caregiver/direct care worker preparedness, relational coordination, and service satisfaction. The intervention will involve delivering the home care role and preference guide to up to 50 family caregiver-home care care aide dyads to demonstrate the feasibility of collecting primary endpoints relating to older adults' outcomes to be examined in a future ePCT as well as intervention acceptability. Information about family caregivers and home care aide perspectives will be collected at enrollment, 2- and 4-weeks of the intervention.
