Method A recent case study with analysis of prior projects exemplify discussion points 1-8. Results & Discussion Gerontechnology activity monitoring research experiences with family caregivers of frail and/or cognitively impaired community dwelling older adults yield key common points and recommendations. Essential elements include the fostering of open and ongoing communications, clarity of expectations, understanding of each other's roles, and learning about older adults' abilities and limitations. Possible confounds to this study included multiple research sites, Intellectual Product considerations, and grant funding timetables.
