Research Abstract |
"Stroll to the Park" program was implemented for people with dementia who use day care facility. People with dementia were invited to stroll in the nearby park twice a week for three months. Twenty-two participants were recruited, but only ten people were able to follow for one year. Participants alternated between three-month intervals of walking and not walking. Over half of the participants' Behave-AD score dropped during the second walking. Two people estimated to be CDR3 were able to join the program. Unlike other programs, “Stroll to the Park” provides people with severe dementia the opportunity to participate.
