Additions to the programme	New activity added would work well New activity met resident’s needs New module would be helpful for some but not all residents Supervision would be helpful	Kept new module but made it optional Agreed that supervision would be offered weekly
Individual resident factors as barriers	Resident personality and dementia severity, would influence programme feasibility and usefulness Programme dependent on resident’s verbal ability	Inclusion criteria to not include individuals with severe dementia as measured by the Functional Assessment Staging Test To meet this criteria, resident participants had to be able to speak more than 5–7 words a day
