Summary
This study tests a personalized method using non-drug therapies (like music or activities) to reduce behavioral issues such as agitation and wandering in elderly people living in care homes. Researchers will compare this new approach to the usual care methods. The goal is to see if personalizing activities can improve residents' behavior and quality of life.
