Are you a person with cognitive impairment or changes in your thinking or memory?

What is the project about?
Improving the quality of life of people living with dementia is a major goal of
research and practice. To do so, we need to be able to measure the factors that
are important to their quality of life. We assembled a team of people living
with dementia, care partners and researchers to create a new assessment of
quality of life among people experiencing changes in their thinking abilities.
Now, we are ready to test the tool and we need your help!
