You, Me and Nature Pilot Study
This small pilot study tests an eight-week program of nature-based activities, led at home by a caregiver, for people with mild cognitive impairment or dementia. Pairs are randomly assigned to start now or wait. Researchers are mainly checking whether the program and study setup work. It has no formal phase, so it is an early feasibility check.
