3Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Spaced retrieval educationExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

This condition will have signage and cues as in Arm 2 added to the care communities. In addition, a spaced retrieval (SR) memory intervention strategy will be implemented individually for each resident participating in the study to help them remember the presence and function of the environmental wayfinding cues.

Group II: Salient CuesExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Special signs and salient cues will be added to the community along the routes being measured for wayfinding. The cues will be comprised of pictures, objects, and signage.

Group III: ControlActive Control1 Intervention

There will be no modifications to décor or signage in the existing care community, and no education on wayfinding. However, subjects will receive the same testing that is provided for the other arms at the designated time periods.
