Summary

Dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) deeply impact individuals' well-being and are expected to increase due to population aging, with global cases projected to rise to 152.8 million by 2050. Social isolation, accounting for 4% of dementia cases, emerges as a critical modifiable risk factor, particularly in institutionalized older adults, where it significantly raises dementia risk.

To address these challenges, the REMINDER program was developed as a tailored, multidomain intervention to reduce dementia risk, emphasizing social and cognitive engagement and advancing its adaptation and evaluation in Residential and Daycare Facilities (RDF). To assess the feasibility of REMINDER in older adults supported by RDF (recruitment, adherence, retention, acceptability, accessibility, and usability) and explore potential changes in cognitive and psychosocial outcomes.

REMINDER intervention

The REMINDER intervention includes 20 face-to-face group sessions, each approximately 60 to 75 minutes, held twice a week over ten weeks. This program aims to optimize memory, attention, executive function, and emotional regulation while promoting lifestyle habits that protect the aging brain. The sessions include brain health education, cognitive exercises, compensatory memory strategies, training for managing personally relevant goals (with goal setting), and stress management techniques (compassion-based therapies, relaxation methods, and mindfulness). As for the structure of the sessions, each starts with a mindfulness exercise and concludes with a review of the homework assignments. Every session includes a psychoeducation component focused on a specific topic, a time for sharing and reflection, and a practical activity.
