Summary
This study tested a 6-week museum-based programme called 'Refresh and Reconnect!' for older adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia. Participants took guided tours and did hands-on art activities at the National Museum of Singapore. Researchers measured changes in quality of life, mood, loneliness, and thinking skills before and after the programme. The goal was to see if heritage activities can improve well-being and understand what makes the programme work.
