The program aims to improve quality of care and quality of life for people living with dementia and the wellbeing of the family care partner.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study took place in a not\u2010for\u2010profit RAC home in Adelaide, South Australia. Mixed methods, specifically questionnaires, activity logs, focus group, and one\u2010on\u2010one interviews were used to evaluate the feasibility of the program implementation. Staff working in the participating home, occupational therapists trained to deliver the program, and residents and their family carer partners were included. Quantitative data were analysed using proportions, means, and standard deviations. Qualitative data were analysed using a thematic approach.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Consumer and Community Involvement<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study was conducted together with a consumer (person living with dementia) and a carer representative (family member of someone residing in RAC). These representatives provided input towards the study design, interpretation of study data, discussion of results, and recommendations for future consideration.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Small changes to the program improved feasibility and acceptability for delivery in RAC. While the care home staff required added support during implementation, the intervention therapists felt that the program could be delivered in this setting. Family care partners of residents with dementia felt that the program may be better suited if provided upon entry to RAC or in early stages of dementia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Adapting a community\u2010based dementia care program to RAC can be safe and feasible. Program adaptations are necessary for feasibility. Further adaptations and evaluations of associated outcomes (related to residents with dementia and their family care partners) are needed to assess the program effectiveness in larger scale.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Plain language summary<\/jats:title><jats:p>Spending quality time with family members in residential aged care is important. However, many struggle to know what to say or do when visiting a family member who lives with dementia. Programs that teach families about how to communicate with people living with dementia, how to support them to take part in important everyday living activities, or how to understand why changes in behaviours may occur have not been available in residential aged care. This paper describes how we adapted one such evidence\u2010based program from community to residential aged care settings. We consulted with people living with dementia, carers, and families and found that the program could also be valuable in this care setting. Residential aged care staff described how the program is very different to what is usually available in residential aged care, but they were optimistic that with the right support, it could be a valuable way to support residents with dementia and their families. Family members of residents with dementia and therapists delivering the program felt that residents in early stages of living in residential aged care and\/or early stages of dementia could benefit the most from these programs. We found that including family members in the intervention process can be useful and empowering for families and residents. Future work should also focus on involving other staff members caring for residents in the process. Communication between staff and families is the key for program delivery and success and treating each person as an individual.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/1440-1630.12978","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,28]],"date-time":"2024-06-28T03:57:31Z","timestamp":1719547051000},"page":"967-980","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Using FRAME to adapt an evidence\u2010based dyadic intervention program for people living with dementia in residential aged care: A pilot feasibility study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"71","author":[{"given":"Miia","family":"Rahja","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute Flinders University  Bedford Park South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ann","family":"Pietsch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dementia Australia Advisory Committee  Bedford Park South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helen","family":"Radoslovich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute Consumer and Community Involvement Advisory Board Flinders University  Bedford Park South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Natalie","family":"Galligani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Southern Cross Care  Glen Osmond South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicholas","family":"Burton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Southern Cross Care  Glen Osmond South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Crotty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute Flinders University  Bedford Park South Australia Australia"},{"name":"Division of Rehabilitation, Aged and Palliative Care Southern Adelaide Local Health Network  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0259-2209","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kate","family":"Laver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute Flinders University  Bedford Park South Australia Australia"},{"name":"Division of Rehabilitation, Aged and Palliative Care Southern Adelaide Local Health Network  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-5415.1996.tb01405.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","volume-title":"Manual for the Allen cognitive level screen\u20105 (ACLS\u20105) and Large Allen cognitive level screen\u20105 (LACLS\u20105)","author":"Allen C.","year":"2007"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","volume-title":"The most difficult decision: Dementia and the move into residential aged care","author":"Alzheimer's Australia","year":"2012"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1191\/1478088706qp063oa"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.11124\/jbisrir-2017-003634"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1440-1630.12824"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1440-1630.12805"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","unstructured":"Caughey G.
