Completed in course NUR 711.Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurocognitive degenerative disease with progressive deterioration of memory, orientation, cognitive thinking and is the major leading cause of dementia. The deterioration may become disabling, requiring a caregiver around the clock. Most caregivers are not trained or prepared for the care required. The purpose of this project was to recognize the caregiver’s lack of knowledge of AD and ADrelated dementia (ADRD), provide resources to the caregiver to increase their knowledge, and provide AD/ADRD patient activities. The planned method was to survey the AD/ADRD caregiver, provide education, and administer a post survey after several weeks. The survey instrument consisted of questions of data collection to evaluate the information on an AD caregiver website. The original survey was used by speech pathologists and published in 2018, survey was simplified for caregiver ease of reading. The survey consisted of closed ended survey questions. A ten answer Likert scale was used to allow the researcher to gather detailed data and increase validity. The quantitative data was analyzed using inferential statistics. This study evaluated the AD/ADRD caregivers knowledge base on AD following review of the content on the Alzheimer’s Foundation of Americas’ web based Teal Room. The mean pre survey overall was significantly lower than the mean post survey overall.en-USAlzheimer's diseaseCaregiverDementiaAmerican Foundation of AmericaProject
