Summary

This study tested a program called Home Alone for older adults (55+) with mild cognitive impairment or memory loss who live alone. The program involves weekly one-hour coaching sessions over several months to help participants stay engaged, active, and safe at home. Researchers measured how acceptable and feasible the program was, and gathered feedback to improve it.
