Co‐Designing a Sensory Support Intervention for Older Adults With Hearing and Vision Impairment Living in Australian Home Care Settings
Older adults with lived experience caring for a family member with dementia played a central role in reviewing the developed intervention materials as part of PPI workshops. They provided unique insights into the usability of the materials, and these were used to refine the intervention to better suit the older adult population. Key differences existed between the insights offered by the public and by research experts, highlighting the value of public contributions to intervention development.
