The investigators will perform an RCT with a 12-week delayed start control group in 224 dyads of PWMLs and CGs. The primary outcome in PWML will be self-rated quality of life (Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease, QOL-AD). Secondary outcomes will include: a) self-reported emotional well-being; b) self-reported social isolation; c) self-reported mobility; and d) directly assess cognitive performance. In CGs, the primary outcome will be self-rated quality of life (SF-12). Secondary outcomes in CGs will include: a) healthy days; b) self-efficacy; c) burden; d) social isolation; e) ability to self-regulate; f) positive affect; and g) sleep quality. In addition, the investigators will ask CGs to report sleep quality, mobility, and cognitive function for PWML. Additional exploratory outcomes will include health services utilization (hospitalizations, emergency department visits) and falls. In addition to the RCT, the investigators propose to compare health utilization outcomes in study participants to a matched 'no contact' comparison sample of patients with dementia diagnoses who receive care in the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Health system.
