Transitioning to long-term care: family caregiver experiences of dementia, communities, and counseling.
Previous analyses of interventions targeting relationships between family caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias and residential long-term care (RLTC) staff showed modest associations with caregiver outcomes. This analysis aimed to better understand interpersonal and contextual factors that influence caregiver-staff relationships and identify targets for future interventions to improve these relationships.

Differences in transitional care provided to patients with and without dementia.
This study compared differences in transitional care provided to patients with and without dementia. The medical charts of 210 hospitalized patients at a single hospital (126 with dementia, 84 without) 70 years and older was reviewed for evidence of transitional care, including discharge planning, patient education, and follow-up appointments. Patients were dementia were less likely to receive information although caregivers would like the patients to receive more education and information from hospital providers. The authors recommend that nurses and social workers consider providing education regardless of diagnosis.
