This study is testing a program called LOCK to improve sleep for nursing home residents with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias. The LOCK program trains nursing home staff using a team-based approach to help residents sleep better. Researchers will compare residents' sleep during a period with no special intervention to their sleep after the LOCK program is put in place. The study aims to enroll 456 participants. To join, you must be at least 50 years old, have an Alzheimer's disease or related dementia diagnosis, and be identified by staff as having sleep problems. Success will be measured by how much sleep improves, using a device called an actigraph (a wrist-worn device that measures movement to estimate sleep). The current recruitment status is unclear.
