The aim of this project was to obtain grant funding to assist A Caring Place in purchasing multiple computer-based, person-centered devices from Its Never 2 Late (iN2L) technology. A Caring Place is an adult day service center that serves older adults with mild cognitive impairment and dementia, and varying degrees of confusion and physical functioning, all of whom have unique interests and past experiences. A Caring Place is committed to providing care that is person-centered, value-driven, independence focused, emphasizes well-being, and provides autonomy to the participants. iN2L technology can benefit participants at A Caring Place by providing them with opportunities to engage in meaningful occupations, reminiscence therapy, and social interactions. The occupational therapy doctoral student engaged in the grant proposal writing process by collaborating with the program director to determine the budget, outcome measures, objectives, methods, and dissemination procedures for this project. The primary goals of the technology are to increase participant engagement, well-being, and expression of positive emotions. Keywords: person-centered care, technology, grant proposal, older adults
