Summary
The investigators will perform a parallel-group multicenter randomized controlled trial of a 1-year pre-enrolled acute hospital care at home intervention vs usual care for people living with dementia. Patients will be randomized only after eligibility determination and after the family caregiver agrees to enroll; people living with dementia will assent when able. Patients will be allocated in a concealed fashion to the control and intervention groups in randomly selected block sizes of 4 or 6 in 4 strata reflecting their functional status (activities of daily living: 0, 1, 2-3, 4-6). Although family and clinicians cannot be blinded, the investigators will blind the data collectors and assessors.
