Randomized subjects will wait for a 3 month period before being assigned to the LST-LC education. This group of subjects will act as the control group.
The study team convened a team of health care professionals, including nursing, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, gerontology, nutrition, and dental hygiene, to develop a community-based education program for family caregivers.
Testing the LST-LC intervention with cultural adaptations integrated through Stage 2 (Adaptation Design). There are 9 modules. Session 1, we describe the principles underlying the program (safety, hygiene, dignity, comfort, and independence), discuss self-care, and introduce a vignette of caring for a person with dementia, designed to generate conversation around the caregiving role. Other modules focus on 1) behavioral and 2) communication challenges in the context of dementia; 3) home safety, transfers, and adaptable medical equipment; 4) managing nutrition needs; 5) swallowing challenges; 6) supporting oral hygiene; 7) dealing with incontinence, including preventing and recognizing urinary tract infections; 8) medication management and 9) managing comorbidities including assessing and managing pain

The community-engaged approach used to adapt and test the intervention will also support dissemination. The investigators will work closely with community-based organizations such as the local Area Agency on Aging and Alzheimer's Association for recruitment and , will provide quarterly updates to community partners on progress through the Family Caregiver Coalition and Caring for the Caregiver newsletters. The investigators will disseminate the results of the study through community forums, as well as publication in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at professional meetings. The target audience for dissemination is community organizations who support family caregivers. With that in mind, we will target the American Society on Aging for presenting the results of the study. Information will be shared as a publication in a peer reviewed scientific journal
