Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Do salivary cortisol and DHEAS levels improve after the intervention, compared to the waitlist control group?
* Do feelings of anxiety and depression improve after the intervention, compared to the waitlist control group?
* Does the quality of life improve after the intervention, compared to the waitlist control group?
* Does physical function improve after the intervention, compared to the waitlist control group?
Participants will engage in music and movement sessions three times per week for 12 weeks. Researchers will compare the intervention group to the waitlist control group to see if any effects occur.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention group
The programme was a digital movement and music programme with resources from danceSing Care (https://dancesingcare.uk/) and consisted of two movement sessions and one music session each week, each lasting about 20 minutes. Also, the danceSing care resources were designed to suit older adults with physical and cognitive impairments (residents with mobility aids and/or dementia). Movement sessions included chair and standing fitness, which started with a warm-up and finished with stretching exercises. Sessions were managed and supervised by care home activity coordinators.
danceSing Care
\- Physical activity interventions, including multi-component (chair-based) exercises or dancing, and music therapies have been shown to improve multidimensional health markers in older adults.
Waitlist control group
Waitlist for 12 weeks before participating in the digital movement and music programme with resources from danceSing Care (https://dancesingcare.uk/).
