Programs

Inspire Study, Emory University

We are excited to announce that we are partnering with The Division of Geriatrics and Gerontology in the Department of Medicine at Emory University for their Inspire Study!


The Inspire Study is aimed at learning ways to enhance the care experiences of residents with advanced dementia and that of their family members. They are interested in the perspectives of residents' family and friends as well as the perspectives of assisted living providers. They are actively recruiting resident family members to participate in this important study. There is compensation available.
