Clinical Study
Home- and Community-Based Services for Veterans with Cognitive Impairments and their Caregivers
Veterans are at a high risk of having Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). This is because of military experiences like traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Family members often provide care for Veterans with AD/ADRD. This allows them to live at home in their community. Research is needed to learn about these Veterans and caregivers' current needs and the best home- and community-based care services. The information we gain may aid future patients.
