Who are we?

We are researchers, medical providers, and caregivers who are trying to improve care for people with memory problems (like dementia) and their caregivers.

Caring for people with dementia, particularly at end-of-life, is hard. We want a better understanding of experiences across multiple communities.

We want to hear from you.

If you have cared for someone who died with a memory problem, like dementia, we want to hear about your experiences.

You will be paid for your time.

Your insight may help improve end-of-life care for others.
