Welcome to the Maintain Study website. This study aims to help people with dementia, who have had a fall in the past 6 months, to maintain their independence. After having a fall, people with dementia may have a fear of falling again which could lead to an increase in their dependency and a poorer quality of life. We have developed a package of activities (intervention) to help people with dementia maintain their independence at home. A close family member or friend will take part with the person with dementia to support them during the study.
This study is sponsored by the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and managed by the University of Exeter.
This study is funded by Alzheimer’s Society with the views expressed being those of the author(s) and not necessarily those of Alzheimer’s Society.
