We will test the effect of this combined approach in a Stage I, randomized controlled pilot feasibility study compared to enhanced usual care. We will recruit 40 older adults with MCC and functional limitation and randomize 20 to the PI- delivered BA-OT protocol. This research will inform modification and larger-scale testing of this novel intervention.
