Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The investigators compare the mobility scores, and socialization scores, of nursing home residents with visual loss randomized to the intervention homes to the scores of nursing home residents with visual loss randomized to control homes. The investigators use the mobility and socialization scores of those without visual loss at baseline and follow up to compare with the trajectory of decline in those with visual loss.
