Person-Environment Fit for Persons With Dementia

The Harmony at HOME (Help Online Modifying the Environment) intervention builds on prior successful foundations of dementia care interventions with a novel approach combining remote implementation, antecedent education, and home environment intervention. The intervention will teach caregivers how to 1) assess the home environment as an antecedent to behavior for the person with ADRD, and 2) design and implement individualized environmental modification through an environmental cueing approach to address the needs of the person with ADRD in a supportive environment.

"Standard of care will address behaviors and psychiatric symptoms of dementia (BPSD) for persons with ADRD, as recommended by their medical provider. Caregivers will receive training regarding home safety via a home safety handout based on National Institutes on Aging Home Safety and Alzheimer's Disease webpage."
