The Caregivers’ Experiences with and Perspectives on Communication with Persons with Dementia study examines how people with dementia and their caregivers communicate with one another in the late stages of the disease. We seek to systematically describe this communication and how it affects caregivers’ clinical and daily care decisions. Discovering how this communication unfolds can better prepare clinicians to respond to certain caregiving concerns and issues.
