The DEmentia Lifestyle Intervention Program for Getting Healthy Together (DELIGHT) was co-designed by people with dementia, care partners, community stakeholders, and researchers with the goal of promoting \u2018living well\u2019 with dementia.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n<jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A mixed methods study design was used to assess the feasibility of the 8-week virtual DELIGHT program, which incorporates group exercise and shared learning on topics related to health and wellbeing.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Feasibility was evaluated through recruitment rate, attendance, and retention, along with semi-structured interviews that probed the program impact and recommended changes. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis. Quality of life, physical activity, balance confidence, exercise self-efficacy, nutrition risk, social connection, balance, and strength were also assessed pre- and post-program.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A total of 19 participants were recruited to the two virtual program offerings (average of 4.75 participants\/month). Of these, 17 (89.5%) completed the pre- and post-program evaluations. Average attendance was 78% demonstrating feasibility of the program. Four themes related to the impact of and satisfaction with the DELIGHT program were identified: <jats:italic><jats:italic>Creating and Strengthening Connections<\/jats:italic><\/jats:italic> described the sense of community felt among participants and study leaders, <jats:italic><jats:italic>Sharing Knowledge and Learning<\/jats:italic><\/jats:italic> described participants enjoyment in learning from one another and sharing their own valuable knowledge, <jats:italic><jats:italic>Motivation to Improve Health and Wellbeing<\/jats:italic><\/jats:italic> described improvements in participants\u2019 functional abilities and motivation to continue healthy habits beyond the program, and <jats:italic><jats:italic>Providing Hope and Challenging Stigma<\/jats:italic><\/jats:italic> described a mindset shift to believing in the possibility of living well with dementia and challenging stigma.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec005\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>DELIGHT is a feasible lifestyle intervention for people living with dementia and their care partners.
