Observational Study of Aging-in-Place Services for Older Adults with Alzheimer's Disease
This study is observing how older adults with Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment make decisions about where they live as they age. Researchers want to understand how things like changes in memory, health, and support from family or friends affect these choices. They are also looking at whether plans to "age in place" (stay in your own home) are actually put into action and if those plans match what older adults and their caregivers want. This study is following people who are already part of another research study. The main goal is to see how often participants plan for long-term care for Alzheimer's disease or memory loss over a period of 108 months. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older, speak English, and are already in the 'Decision Making and Implementation of Aging-in-Place/Long Term Care Plans among Older Adults' study. The current status of this study is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Rate of participant long term care planning for Alzheimer's Dementia/Memory LossAssessed every 6 months, 108 months reported
Participants are asked "If you developed Alzheimer's or memory loss and could no longer live independently in your home, have you decided what your living preferences (e.g. stay in own home, retirement/long term care community) would be?" Decision-making is measured as a binary ('yes', 'no') outcome at each time-point. Will report % of participants who indicated "YES", that they have decided on their living preferences. Frequencies given for 108 month timepoint per primary outcome analysis.
