Summary

This small pilot study tested whether a 6-week remote occupational therapy program could help older adults living in affordable senior housing become more physically active. The program used respected residents to encourage participation and included one-on-one and group sessions via video or phone. The main goal was to see if the approach was practical and well-received, not to measure health outcomes.
