Central themes in person-centered care are dignity/respect/choice for the care recipient. This Phase l clinical study is a minimal risk study that focuses on how the new technology can support and amplify these principles, while assisting care staff. The investigators will use a novel digital health device developed with user-centered design principles, mirroring a range of evidence-based non-pharmacological interventions for people living with Alzheimer's disease and its related dementias (AD/ADRD). This is a purpose-built virtual world depicting activities of daily living (ADLs). It contains interactive engagement stimuli, including customized digital artifacts that hold meaning to the person. The investigators hypothesize that undertaking ADL-related virtual activities will support completions of actual ADLs, thereby increasing effectiveness and improving care outcomes. Aim 1: Feasibility Successful outcomes are \>55% participation rate and a statistically significant difference between assessments of participation and non-participation, indicating tolerability and acceptability of routine interventions. Aim 2: Effectiveness Successful outcomes are: * a reduction in ADL-related care challenges compared to baseline * reduced time spent on the evening ADLs compared to baseline * a reduction in negative response behaviors associated with the ADL * greater interest in the ADL * a positive shift in care staff attitudes
