Project Overview

Up to 60% of older adults are aware of cognitive changes in their everyday life, despite having no underlying condition. The most common cognitive changes associated with normal aging are in memory and executive functioning, which can have a significantly negative impact on individuals’ ability to live independently and manage aspects of their everyday life.  As such, it is important to make rehabilitation accessible to older adults with cognitive complaints so that they can maintain or improve their participation. In particular, the number of older adults in the workforce is increasing yet we know little about how cognitive complaints affect performance at work. We plan to conduct a clinical trial to test a rehabilitation program designed to help older adults who have some cognitive complaints manage activities of daily living. We will examine if it is possible to deliver this rehabilitation program using videoconferencing so older adults can access care from home.
