JAGS Editorial: Family Caregivers in Hospital at Home—What We Know, Where to Go
An editorial by Bruce Leff, Linda DeCherrie and colleagues published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society (JAGS) examines research on the role and experiences of family caregivers in Hospital at Home.
The authors conclude that family caregivers generally have positive experiences with Hospital at Home and that available evidence does not suggest the model shifts the burden of care from hospital staff to families. The editorial outlines how programs can better support caregivers by clarifying expectations, assessing their needs, providing training and offering ongoing assistance.
