The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a multi-level social participation program can help improve social engagement and slow down cognitive decline in older adults living in nursing homes. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can this program improve how often and how meaningfully participants engage in social activities? Can this program help maintain or improve participants' cognitive abilities? Researchers will compare this program to a health education group to see if it is more effective in supporting social participation and cognitive health. Participants will: Join a 12-week program that includes group activities, personalized support, staff assistance, and health education content Be assessed before and after the program using cognitive and social participation questionnaires Be randomly assigned to either the multi-level social participation program group or the health education group
