Background: Resource-constrained rural areas face significant challenges in providing access to healthcare resources, especially for older adults, including those living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD).

Background: Occupational therapists (OTs) play a crucial role in rehabilitation, aiming to improve the lives of individuals with sensory impairment and an increased risk of cognitive decline.
