Living alone increases one\u2019s risk for loneliness and social isolation. Many older adults live alone, including individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and subjective memory decline. Living alone with a diagnosis of MCI or subjective memory decline adds greater complexity, stress, and difficulty in navigating daily life due to loneliness, social isolation, and negative mental and physical health outcomes. Despite these concerns, there is a dearth of support interventions for older adults who live alone with memory decline. Home Alone is a new support program created for this unique population of older adults in continuing to live independently and safely while engaging in social and meaningful activities. This pilot study evaluated the feasibility of the novel Home Alone support program.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Home Alone is a seven\u2010session psychosocial and psychoeducational intervention that provides one\u2010on\u2010one, tailored coaching in person or via telehealth. Home Alone focuses on promoting home safety strategies and modifications and encouraging personally meaningful activity and social engagement through behavioral activation\u2010based tasks. Fifteen older adults who live alone and have MCI or subjective memory decline enrolled in the 3\u2010month feasibility study to evaluate the initial program and inform its refinement. Mixed methods data were collected from 1\u2010 and 3\u2010month follow\u2010up surveys. Additional qualitative data on participants\u2019 experiences of the Home Alone intervention were collected at post\u2010intervention interviews.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Results demonstrated preliminary feasibility, utility, and acceptance of Home Alone.
