Life Story Club for Cognitively Impaired Older Adults

Creative expression programs such as storytelling have been shown to increase positive emotion in elders with cognitive impairment. The LifeStory club is a community-based social group founded to promote community building and the exchange of life stories in older adults. Our pilot study explored the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of the LifeStory Club on improving the wellbeing of older adults with mild cognitive impairment (loneliness and depression) and their caregivers (caregiver burden).
