We interviewed long-term care residents with dementia, family members, and staff about their goals for rehabilitation. Most identified goals focused on maintaining or improving function, mobility, and quality of life. Specific themes were preventing falls, walking or locomoting, stair climbing, maintaining activities of daily living, engaging in enjoyable exercise, maintaining independence and human connections, keeping busy, leaving the home for activities, and participating in group activities.
