Digital technologies to support people living with dementia in the care home setting to engage in meaningful occupations: protocol for a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

People living with all stages of dementia should have the opportunity to participate in meaningful occupations. For those living in care homes, this may not always occur and residents may spend significant parts of the day unengaged, especially those living with more advanced dementia.
