Oneida Helping Oneida
The Oneida Nation has a number of excellent supportive services/resources available to support persons with dementia and their family members who provide assistance to them. However, the Oneida Alzheimer’s Disease Community Advisory Board has identified that many families do not avail themselves of the resources available. To better understand the barriers to use of these resources, this study aims to learn more about the extent to which Oneida community members are aware of various types of supportive services and intend to use them. In addition, we seek to identify community-specific factors that may impact service use by family caregivers, in order to better serve these caregivers in the future.
