In this Phase 1 pilot study, the investigators will test the feasibility of pairing a social network-based approach with a 6-week Occupational Therapist (OT)-led intervention administered remotely to increase physical function and activity among residents of a HUD subsidized independent-living senior housing community. The social network-based approach will involve systematic identification and involvement of influential human agents of change in the community (i.e., the most respected resident and resident with whom others have the most contact) to help recruit and sustain others' participation in the OT intervention. The OT intervention will be comprised of a combination of adapted components from multiple evidence-based interventions including individual meetings with an OT and OT-led group sessions. The goal of the intervention is to increase physical function and activity among older adults through development of habits and skills that address barriers such as pain.
