Abstract
  • More older adults are desiring to age in place; however, older adults are at higher risk for depression, feelings of loneliness, and a potential decrease in quality of life. Involvement more holistically in life may be beneficial in improving quality of life, depression, and feelings of loneliness. Using an occupation-based model as a guide, the purpose of this project was to design and implement a holistic wellness program based on the Seven Dimensions of Wellness. A needs assessment determined the need for raising awareness of health and wellness and providing education in a more holistic manner. The intent of the program focused on providing education through handouts and activities to increase well-being and awareness of awareness of wellness. A pre-test and post-test questionnaire were conducted via phone call to assess well-being and depression. Participants engaged in seven virtual wellness sessions. Findings revealed that participants who engaged in this wellness program demonstrated improvements in life satisfaction, quality of life and well-being, and depression.
