About the Research Study
What is this Research Study About?
Our researchers are testing an online program, called Moving Together, for people with cognitive decline and their care partners.

"[I liked] the friendship, caring, [and] the improvement in both my husband's and my balance. He had fallen and there was a fear of walking our streets...his confidence is back and we are out and about again."
