Overview
Supporting older people including those with dementia to stay cognitively active by using technologies and / or through reablement approaches improving quality of life.
Background:
Older people, including those with cognitive impairment, wish to stay active in the community for as long as possible. However, as people age the risk of frailty increases, that can lead to adverse outcomes increasing the risk of institutional care. Reablement approaches for people living with dementia in the community have demonstrated improved functional independence in high income countries. However, little is known of the potential for such approaches in low-middle income countries.
Aim and objectives:
This study seeks to explore the potential for reducing the risk of frailty and enhancing independence for people living with cognitive decline in low- middle income countries with or without the use of technology.
Methodology:
Mixed methods studies using an exploratory or explanatory framework.
Expected outcomes:
Mechanisms to improve care of people living with dementia in low-middle income countries.
