Karen M. Rose, PhD, MSN, RN, conducts
research aimed at maintaining persons with dementia in their home
environments, thus, delaying or avoiding institutionalization for

achieve this aim. Dr. Rose is currently focused on interventions
to improve stress and sleep in persons with dementia and in their
family caregivers. At present, she has research funding
to study family quality of life in dementia from the Alzheimer's and
Related Disorders Research Award Fund and recently completed a
2-year Claire M. Fagin post-doctoral fellowship with funding from the
John A. Hartford Foundation/Atlantic Philanthropies. Dr. Rose
teaches the Leadership and Management in Healthcare Systems course in
the RN-BSN program and chairs the baccalaureate
program.
