This low-touch study tested an emergency preparedness toolkit (EPT) intervention, inviting 1,062 cohabiting, non-institutionalized caregivers to request and use the EPT to prepare for an unexpected healthcare emergency. Of notified caregivers, 489 (46%) requested the EPT. Among requesters, baseline health severity was higher, yet no significant 6-month differences were observed in ED visits or hospitalizations between groups.

Caregiver outcomes by EPT request were measured 6-month after the EPT was sent. Caregivers who didn’t request the EPT were no different in number of hospitalizations [52(9% vs 34(7%), p=.2] than those who did; however, they hada higher number of deaths [13(2%) vs 2(.4%), p=.01] at 6 months. For the caregiver, there were no significant differences in outcomes such as ED visits/hospitalizations between the two groups. Findings indicate that the health severity of caregivers of PWD was associated with the caregiver’s response to a supportive intervention. Outreach and engagement to caregivers may need to be tailored to a range of caregiver health conditions and severity to be successful. Health of caregivers and their uptake of support and resources warrants further study.  \nAbstract citation ID: igaf122.3471  \nCAREGIVER SPOUSES OF PERSONS WITH DEMENTIA  \nWHO ENGAGE WITH AN EMERGENCY  \nPREPAREDNESS TOOLKIT INTERVENTION  \nAnna Satake1, Rebecca Boxer1, Andrea Daddato2, Kris Wain2, Blythe Dollar2, and James Lagrotteria2, 1.
