“…However, there are important gaps in our understanding of interactions, including care encounters, follow-up, and any informal conversations, between caregivers of persons living with dementia and important health and community-based services and providers. Previous research on caregivers of persons living with dementia has focused on interactions with healthcare providers in a given setting (primary care, inpatient, home care, skill nursing facility, assisted living) (Fortinsky, 2001; Granbo et al, 2019; Haley et al, 1992; Mueller et al, 2021; Stephan et al, 2015), despite providers recognizing they often spend limited time with patients and families and lack awareness of community resources (Jensen & Inker, 2015), or barriers and facilitators to service use (Biegel et al, 1993; Hochgraeber et al, 2017; Kokorelias et al, 2022; Macleod et al, 2017; Sutcliffe et al, 2015; Winslow, 2003). However, caregivers of persons living with dementia experience a range of interactions with providers and services across care settings through the progression of dementia.…”
