    Abstract
    Research has suggested that intergenerational interactions have the potential to improve the well-being and quality of life for adults with dementia. However, few studies have been conducted that determine the outcomes of intergenerational programs on these adults. This study examines the outcomes of participation in regular intergenerational programming (IGP) for adults who reside in a shared site facility where intergenerational interactions with children take place daily. The study examines adult participation and engagement in these intergenerational activities and explores the influences that their engagement patterns have on outcomes such as quality of life using the Menorah Park Engagement Scale (MPES) and Quality of Life (QOL) in Dementia Scale (QUALID). Results indicated a significant relationship between: (a) the type of engagement observed in IGPs and affect/behaviors among adults with dementia, (b) engagement outcomes and QOL, and (c) frequency of participation and QOL.
