Montessori activities for older adults
This study looks at whether Montessori-style activities, which are hands-on and self-directed, can improve daily living and well-being in older adults. If you are 65 or older and generally healthy enough to take part, this trial might help you stay engaged and mentally active.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 years old or older.
