The project explores family caregivers’ experiences with repeated transitions between home and nursing homes for people with dementia, and how these affect caregiver burden, relationships, and care quality.
This project explores family caregivers’ experiences of repeated admissions and readmissions to nursing homes for people living with dementia, including short-term and respite stays.
Through qualitative interviews, the study examines both the benefits and challenges of this care model and how transitions affect caregiver burden, family relationships, and continuity of care.
The aim is to generate knowledge that can strengthen person- and family-centered health services, improve coordination between home care and institutional care, and support the development of more sustainable dementia care pathways in Norway.
