While cognitive impairment has traditionally been conceptualized from a medical model, the study examines the potential ability for non-pharmacological, evidence-based interventions to sustain the brain health of cognitively impaired aging adults living in institutional settings. This cross-sectional study included thirty older adults living in a nursing home setting, including aged 65 years and older in a metropolitan region. Participants reported engaging in several non-pharmacological physical and social activities. Non-parametric testing was used to examine differences between pretest and posttest for several outcomes: MoCA average 16.56 (SD = 3.585), range [9,21], CLOX significantly increased between pre [average of.83 (SD =.707)] and post [2 (SD = 1.044)] intervention, UCLA increased from 8.33 (SD = 6.979) to 10.93 (SD = 9.294) indicating participants were found to have significantly decreased cognitive impairment. Current evidence and future directions for assessing the effectiveness of noninvasive, non-pharmacological, cost-effective interventions and preventions for healthy brain aging are discussed.
