This is a prospective observational study evaluating a multidomain community support model for older adults.

The program blends social, cognitive, physical, cultural, educational, and supportive services tailored to individuals, with activities such as crafts, music, exercise, cognitive games, language courses, and psychosocial support. The primary outcome is change in global cognitive performance on the MMSE, with secondary outcomes including memory, executive function, mood, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and quality of life.
