Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Professional artists will work with older adults in the community they live, which overcomes transportation and mobility barriers. Ecumen participation logs will document attendance as well as the number of older adults able to access arts programming because transportation and other barriers were addressed. 2: Professional artists will offer various activities to seniors that foster artistic development, as well as mental alertness and physical well-being. KAIROS Alive! pre and post assessment tools measure success of proposed evidence-based activities with anticipated outcomes aligning with our goal of promoting quality of life for older adults.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Seniors with mobility and cognitive challenges participated in arts programming at Ecumen Prairie Lodge led by Kairos artists. Attendance logs were maintained by Prairie Lodge staff. 2: Kairos artists provided seniors with activities that enhanced their mood, decreased negative behaviors, and increased social engagement. Staff tracked if there were reduced behavioral outbursts within 24-72 hours of participating, increased social engagement with staff or other residents, the mood of participants, and an increased interest in music or dance. Confidential surveys and notes allowed staff to track this information.
