New program aims to boost social life for seniors in care
NCT ID NCT07440628
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a 7-week workshop program called Count Me In can improve social participation and well-being in older adults who have lost some independence. Eight seniors over 55 who attend day centres will take part. Researchers will measure loneliness, mood, thinking skills, and how often they join in activities.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- The Count Me In Program (seven weekly workshops)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost program to help seniors feel less lonely and more engaged.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early observational study with only 8 participants, so results may not apply to others. It is not designed to prove the program works.
