Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility and acceptability of a digital reminiscence therapy (DRT) intervention for people with dementia (PwD). The objectives of this study include:

1. 1.To determine whether DTR can be delivered as planned in the care of PwD in Jordanian care homes.
2. 2.To determine whether DTR is acceptable/tolerable to PwD and care home staff in Jordanian care homes
3. 3.To identify the most appropriate outcome measures to evaluate the delivery of DRT to PwD in Jordanian care homes to be used in a subsequent definitive trial.

Other: DRT Intervention

Interventions

DRT Intervention OTHER

The digital reminiscence therapy intervention will run 12 sessions twice per week, for six weeks, for up to an hour at a time (this will depend on the participant's ability and willingness to participate). The sessions of reminiscence therapy will be culturally appropriate and based on the key stages in the life which most people will have experienced. These sessions are individual, face-to-face sessions.
