What this trial studies
This observational study evaluates the effectiveness of the SilverBills application, which assists caregivers of individuals with dementia in managing financial and legal responsibilities. The application aims to reduce caregiver burden by providing an easy-to-use platform for bill management and document storage.

Data will be collected remotely to ensure accessibility for participants.
