Safe at Home
Keeping your loved ones with dementia safe at home is challenging. Behavioral changes that come with Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias (ADRD) can increase the injury risk from in-home firearms.
Researchers at the University of Colorado have developed a new resource to help dementia caregivers and are conducting a study to measure its helpfulness.
You may be eligible to participate if you meet the following requirements:
Adult, unpaid caregivers of people with dementia or ADRD (Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias)
Caregiver and person with ADRD must live in the United States
Person with ADRD must have access to one or more firearms and not live in a care facility
Caregiver fluent in English or Spanish
Caregivers who participate in the study will be compensated up to $180. Learn more here.
