Description
Matthew Miller and co-authors evaluate remote training that teaches nursing home staff to run a group movement program for residents with dementia, in a 2024 study. The program blends functional movement and mindfulness, but staff rarely get specialist training. Training ran ten weeks by video, with recorded lessons, practice sessions with residents, and supervised teaching.
Thirty-eight staff across four veterans homes enrolled, and most attended at least eighty percent of sessions. Staff rated satisfaction high and felt confident they could deliver the program. Residents who took part also reported good satisfaction. Records showed the share of residents with a documented fall dropped from about twenty-nine percent before the program to about six percent after. Attending more sessions also linked to better physical function. The authors call the remote training acceptable and promising, while noting the small scale of the test.
