Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Older people with dementia: Those who have stopped using the small-scale multifunctional facility due to hospitalization or admission to a facility, or those who have offered to revoke their consent to cooperate in the research will be excluded from the study from that point onward. Community residents: If a person is suspected of having dementia or mental or physical illness based on his/her participation, we will inform the person and provide support such as connecting the person to a medical institution so that appropriate measures can be taken promptly while respecting the person's wishes, and exclude the person from the volunteer program.
