Research Study Currently Recruiting

---

Our research team is testing our online program, Moving Together. The program integrates physical, cognitive, and social activities that work with parts of the brain that remain intact as memory declines - muscle memory, mindfulness, and the ability to meaningfully connect with others.

• This study seeks pairs which includes a person with mild-to-moderate dementia or memory loss and a care partner
• This is an online study program which participants may do in the comfort of their own homes
• Participants are required to join the live-streaming online class 2x a week over a 3 month period

•  You will contribute to the development of methods to maintain function and independence for people with memory loss or dementia
• Those experiencing symptoms of memory decline may see an improvement in their symptoms such as better mobility, better quality of life, and reduced stress
• You will connect with others that share similar challenges
• You will be helping to advance medical research.

•  Adults 18 years or older
• Pairs that include a person with mild-to-moderate dementia or memory loss and a care partner that is willing to participate together 
• Must have access to a laptop or desktop computer with internet access
•  Able to attend the online class 2x a week over a 3 month period
•  Must not have severe visual or hearing impairment
• Participants do NOT need extensive technology experience; if you can email, you can join!

If you decide to participate in the study and later feel that you no longer wish to be part of it, you may withdraw at any time.

Your records relating to this study and any other information received will be kept strictly confidential, except as required by law.
