About this trial

This study seeks to improve clinical outcomes for an important, growing, and vulnerable population-nursing home residents with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias-by testing an evidence-based intervention to improve these residents' sleep. It will also examine the implementation and sustainment of this intervention.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Nursing home residents aged >=50 years with an Alzheimer disease or related dementia (ADRD) diagnosis, identified by nursing home staff participating in frontline LOCK sleep huddles as having sleep problems

Disqualifiers

Residents with a high risk of OSA who are not being treated for OSA because actigraph measurements are inaccurate in that population.

Residents who have a persistent bilateral resting tremor or paralysis in both arms (a subset of persons with Parkinson's disease and related significant tremor-causing diagnoses), due to actigraph measurement inaccuracies
