Brief Summary:
This project, a small-scale pilot study, will attempt to determine if involvement in a group-based creative expression program may correlate with a reduction in use of psychotropic drugs for persons with dementia.
Detailed Description:
The study site has two skilled-nursing dementia Special Care Units. One unit will serve as a control with residents receiving the standard care activity program. The other unit will receive the standard care activity program as well as the TimeSlips storytelling program (two hour-long sessions per week for six weeks). The behavioral symptoms and psychotropic drug usage for both cohorts will be studied for eight months, the first four months with no intervention and the last four months with or without the six-week TimeSlips intervention.
