Current Research

My research aims to understand and improve the health and wellbeing (quality of life) of individuals living with dementia, their family and friend care partners, and their paid caregivers. In my role as the Helen Carswell Chair in Dementia Care, I evaluate day programs for older adults living with dementia. To do this, I apply an integrated approach to knowledge translation. That means that I closely partner, throughout the research process, with individuals living with dementia, their family/friend care partners, paid care staff, continuing care settings, and health system/government decision makers. My research methods include advanced statistical analyses of large data sets (including population-based health administrative data and survey data); complex, pragmatic intervention studies; qualitative methods, such as semi-structured interviews or focus groups; mixed methods; and various types of literature syntheses.

If you are a student interested in becoming involved in my program of research, please feel free to send me your CV along with a brief statement on why you are interested in this kind of research.
