Summary

This study tests two simple activities—volunteering inside the assisted living community or joining a current events group—to see if they can reduce apathy in residents with mild to moderate memory issues. About 200 people aged 55+ will take part for 6 months, doing their assigned activity three times a week for 30 minutes. The goal is to help them feel more engaged and active.
