The Effects of an Empower_ICE-Fit Program in PLwD Living at Home

The purpose of this study is to see if the Empower-ICE\_Fit program can help people with dementia live more safely, comfortably, and independently at home. This program is designed to better match a person\'s physical and mental abilities (intrinsic capacity) with their living space (environment) through targeted home environmental assessment and home modification counseling. As a multiphase mixed-methods study, researchers will collect both numerical health data and personal interview feedback to fully understand how the program works. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does the Empower-ICE\_Fit program improve the daily functional performance of people with dementia? Does this empowerment-based approach help improve the quality of life for both the individuals and their family caregivers? In this study, researchers will: Assess the current home environments and daily functioning of the participants using specific home environment screening measures. Provide tailored home modification recommendations with empowerment-based approach. Compare the health and safety outcomes of participants in the Empower-ICE\_Fit program with those receiving standard care. Conduct interviews to deeply understand the personal experiences and challenges of participants and their caregivers during the process. Participants will be asked to complete regular health assessments (including both professionally guided and self-reported measures) and may be invited to share their care experiences in interviews.
