Risk Screening & Primary Prevention of Elder Abuse in People Living With Dementia

The goal of this clinical trial is to test a risk assessment screening and intervention for caregivers of people with dementia. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What are the harms and benefits of administering the elder abuse risk assessment screening? 2. What are the harms and benefits of administering the caregiver intervention? Researchers will compare participants who receive the screening and caregiver intervention to a group who does not receive the caregiver intervention and a group who receives neither the screening or the caregiver intervention to answer these questions. Participants will: * Complete two surveys, three months apart * Complete a 5-item screening tool, if assigned to one of the screening groups * Complete a 3-session caregiver intervention, if assigned to that group
