While both caregivers participated in physical activity, their case studies reveal opportunities to optimize physical activity interventions to support members of the caregiving dyad: (1) targeting mitochondrial fitness—the ability of mitochondria to maintain energy homeostasis with aging—so participants can mitigate the onset of NCDs, fatigue, and overall health outcomes; (2) promoting the self-care and psychological benefits of physical activity such as improved mood and social connectedness; and (3) improving the accurate perceptions of participants’ health and physical activity with specific measurable markers of physical activity.

-
BackgroundWith the growing demand for dementia-friendly care environments, existing smart room designs often lack systematic methods to translate user needs into functional solutions.
-
People with dementia (PWD) are frequently exposed to polypharmacy and potentially inappropriate medication use, in which the risks of medication use outweigh the benefits or the medication is not aligned with treatment goals.
-

Participants included 202 physicians and three nurse specialists who assumed similar medical responsibilities.
-
Interviews with 50 Dutch physicians and 47 American physicians and 3 nurse practitioners generated three themes of ethical considerations: (1) Respecting the autonomy of the person with dementia, (2) Rationality as the basis for decisions and subsequent actions, and (3) Minimizing burden and suffering.
-
A total of 2369 caregivers participated in the survey.
-
BackgroundPersons living with dementia (PLWD) on hospice care face unique end-of-life (EoL) care challenges.
-
anxiety and depression symptoms (HADS), functional autonomy (DAD-6), global cognition (MoCA), and quality of life (WHOQOL).
-
Seriously ill older adults, including those living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD), often receive disease-focused rehabilitative care in skilled nursing facilities (SNF) with little consideration for their palliative care (PC) needs.
-

One hundred and fifty rules were found for caregivers with a moderate to severe burden, and these rules can be further summarized into twenty general rules.
-
38/100
Respondents (N=69) identified access to resources as the most important unmet need for caregivers (53%).

-
Spousal caregivers of persons living with dementia (PLwD) often experience high overload and loneliness due to the intensive and ongoing nature of caregiving for their partner.
-
• A novel semi-immersive VR driving simulator (VRDS) for institutionalized older adults with advanced dementia. • The VRDS integrates realistic driving with a virtual environment to stimulate implicit memory and improve cognitive function. • Statistical analyses indicate improvements in game and mood scores over repeated sessions. • The system’s performance logging provides objective measures of implicit learning and motor adaptation in advanced dementia. • The logging system offers a practical alternative to standard cognitive assessments in advanced dementia.

-
Of 22 total CCMs, 12 participated in this study (employed as a CCM for a median [IQR] of 2 [1-3] years; 12 [100%] female) and identified populations that they perceived to especially benefit from the program, including PLWD, patients in hospice, and patients living in group homes.
