Kathleen T. Unroe studies how to improve care for older adults living in nursing homes, with a focus on palliative care (comfort-focused care for serious illness), advance care planning (helping patients and families plan for future medical decisions), and dementia. Much of the work involves testing and implementing practical programs and assessment tools in real nursing home settings, often through pragmatic clinical trials.
