This project aims to enhance the quality of life of older adults who face memory loss or other aspects of cognitive impairment by developing and testing an eight-week intervention for residents who are the early state of dementia. This program will help reduce anxiety, increase coping skills, and facilitate peer support, as well as increase dementia competencies amongst caregivers and supporting staff.
