This study, called TRAIN AD 2.0, is looking for ways to reduce the use of antibiotics in nursing home residents who have moderate to advanced dementia. It tests a special training program for caregivers and family members that aims to improve how they manage suspected infections like urinary tract infections (UTIs) and lower respiratory tract infections (LRIs). The goal is to see if this training can lead to less antibiotic use and fewer difficult medical procedures for these residents. You might be able to join if you are 60 to 106 years old, have any type of dementia, and have been in a nursing home for more than 90 days. The study will measure antibiotic use after 12 months to see if the training was successful. The current status of this study is unclear.
