Abstract

This article has set forth a strategy to increase family/staff cooperation in the care of persons institutionalized with AD. The FIC program was developed as an outgrowth of research that demonstrated family member dissatisfaction with their roles. It is specifically designed to provide a partnership role with staff for families whose relatives with AD are institutionalized. Hypothesized outcomes include the reduction of stress in caregiving, increased satisfaction in role and improved patient cognitive and functional outcomes. Testing of the FIC is currently underway.
