Due to Coronavirus-19, we are exploring the plausibility of delivering the Me \& My Wishes intervention via telehealth.
Me \& My Wishes are videos of nursing home residents talking about their preferences for care, including four sections: About Me, Preferences for Today, Preferences for Medical Intervention and End of Life, and Afterthoughts. Knowing what residents want is essential to staff's ability to provide quality care and can inform family caregivers decision making especially in later stages of life as the resident's cognition declines-a time when family caregivers often feel unprepared. Persons with mild to moderate dementia can accurately express their everyday and end of life preferences, however, stereotypes persist about the decision making abilities of people with dementia that often prevent their involvement in conversations about care. The investigators propose to explore the feasibility of delivering Me \& My Wishes via a telehealth platform.
