Are caregivers’ self‐rated health, preparedness, and burden associated with acute care utilization by people living with dementia enrolled in home palliative care?

Understanding family caregiver factors that influence patient outcomes could open new avenues for improving care. Our previous analysis showed lower risk of downstream patient acute care utilization among people living with dementia (PLWD) versus those without dementia following admission to home palliative care (HomePal). We aimed to examine the association between PLWD caregiver self‐rated health, preparedness, and burden with patient acute care utilization.
