• Overall Benefits – Daycare (DC) provides a break in daily care as a support strategy for family caregivers (FC) of people with dementia (PwD). Integrated programs are a promising approach that addresses the needs and demands of PwD and their FC in a multidimensional manner.(ref)
  • Participants
  • We observed a significant improvement in depression and significant engagement between participants.
  • Caregivers
  • Primary caregivers regained independence to work or attend to responsibilities previously neglected. The financial burden is also lessened as they do not have to pay for private care.
