This study is testing a new approach called the Dementia Care Management Hospice Transitions Checklist. This checklist is designed to help people living with advanced dementia and their care partners during the transition to hospice care. The study aims to see if this checklist is practical to use (feasible), acceptable to patients and caregivers, and effective in guiding end-of-life care. Researchers will also look at how often people enroll in hospice and how satisfied care partners are with the checklist. You may be able to join if you are a care partner of someone with moderate to severe dementia, or if you are a healthcare professional involved in hospice transitions for people with dementia. This study is currently unclear regarding its recruitment status, but plans to enroll 96 participants.
