Care to Plan: an online tool that offers tailored support to dementia caregivers.
This study developed and tested the feasibility of "Care to Plan" (CtP), an online resource for dementia caregivers (e.g., relatives or unpaid nonrelatives) that generates tailored support recommendations. It concluded that, based on the integrated qualitative and quantitative data, CtP was simple and easy to understand. The streamlined visual layout facilitated utility and the individualized recommendations could meet the needs of users.
