Summary

The goal of this study is to test the effect of CS-ADL is on people living with early to middle stage dementia. The study also aims to evaluate the feasibility of conducting larger-scale research of CS-ADL.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* What is the effect of CS-ADL on the ability of people with early to middle stage dementia to carry out their everyday activities?
* What is the effect of CS-ADL on the memory, mood, communication, and quality of life of people living with early to middle stage dementia? What is the feasibility of conducting large-scale research of CS-ADL?

Participants will take part in a group program that lasts 7 weeks, with one session per week, lasting two hours. Participants will take part in rewarding and stimulating activities, for example discussion, reminiscence, music, and practical activities such as baking, cooking, gardening. Participants will be asked to complete a variety of questionnaires before and after taking part in the group.

Researchers will compare a group receiving CS-ADL to a group receiving their usual care, to explore whether CS-ADL works well in comparison to typical treatment provided by the health services.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

CS-ADL (Cognitive stimulation in Activities of Daily Living)

CS-ADL sessions are delivered once weekly, for seven weeks. Sessions last approximately 2 hours. Sessions are themed around domains of everyday activities, for example 'Morning routine', ' Domestic Activities', 'Leisure'. Activities in each session follow this theme. A typical session begins with introductions, reality orientation, a group song and discussion of the news of the week. This is followed by a physical activity/game and ADL-focused cognitive stimulation activities. These activities include the identification and categorization of everyday items, discussion, reminiscence, planning and sequencing of ADLs and the completion of everyday writing/calculation tasks. This is followed by practice of an ADL. Examples of activities include making a breakfast, a simple gardening activity or sorting laundry. The session then ends with a summary and repeat of the group song, and a plan for the next session.
