WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU: This study paired 8 memory care residents and 7 staff members from an AL community to test a biking program as an intervention to improve health and well-being. The pairs completed eight 20-30 minute bike rides over 4 weeks. The rides gave residents and staff a chance to discuss issues around health and well-being. Qualitative results indicate further piloting of the program could be warranted given its acceptability and feasibility.
