Research Summary

Dr. Wolff investigates community-based chronic and long-term care delivery for older adults who are frail and suffer from multi-morbidities.

With a special focus on family caregiving, Dr. Wolff seeks to better understand how the composition and experience of family caregivers is changing over time, how family caregivers navigate the medical system to facilitate health care for the elders for whom they care, and the role of the medical community in supporting family caregivers.
