Intervention

Behavioral:
• Activities of Daily Living/ADLs
7 activities: bathing, dressing, grooming, feeding, walking inside the home, walking outside the home, and bladder and bowel control. Participants get 2 points for each activity that is not limited at all, 1 point for limited a little, and 0 points for limited a lot. Total ADL score ranges from 0 to 14
• Instrumental Activity of Daily Living
8 activities: telephone use, doing laundry, shopping, preparing meals, doing housework, handling own medications, handling money and finances, and transportation to visit one's doctor. Participants get 2 points for each activity that can be done without help, 1 point for needing some help, and 0 point for being unable to do. Total iADL score ranges from 0 to16.
• Timed Up and Go
Participants are asked to get up from the chair, walk 10 feet, turn, and walk back to the char (<10 seconds, 10-20 seconds, >20 seconds)
• Cognition
Mini-Cognition test: CDT and 3-word recall
• Geriatric Depression Scale
Four yes/no questions regarding patient's psychological status. Score ranges from 0 to 4, and a score of >/=1 is usually indicative of depression.
• Social Support
Four 5-point Likert scale questions addressing 4 domains of social support: emotional/ informational, tangible, affectionate, and positive social interaction. Score for each item ranges from 1 to 5, and total score ranges from 4 to 20. A higher score means better social support.
• Brief Test of Attention
assess selective auditory attention.
• Trail Making Test
Assesses visual scanning, graphomotor speed, and set shifting.
• Controlled Oral Word Association Test
A timed test of verbal fluency
• Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised
The HVLT-R is a test of verbal learning and recall. Scores obtained are the total number of words: 1) recalled over three trials; 2)recalled after a delay; 3) correctly recognized.

Other:
• Blood draw
collection of blood tests
