- Abstract
Dementia is an irreversible disease that impacts individuals in all areas of life and decreases quality of life (QOL) (Hsiao et al., 2018). I have identified that there is limited research stating specific ways to increase QOL and improve social participation among individuals with more progressed dementia. Utilizing the Functional Behavior Profile (FBP), I identified five individuals who required assistance and had more progressed dementia. I participated in activities such as exercise classes, crafts, and baking, alongside specific residents and utilized visual, verbal, and tactile cues as well as minor activity modifications when needed to create a just-right challenge. This promoted increased activity satisfaction and overall mood. I monitored individuals’ activity enjoyment via perceived satisfaction and their reports. This research provided evidence that continued participation in social activities with adaptations improves QOL. I recommend further research at a larger scale to expand on the effects of social activity interventions on QOL among older adults with progressed dementia.
