Prior to the study, participants will be provided with detailed information regarding the research, and written informed consent will be obtained from all volunteers. At baseline, initial data will be collected using a "Personal Information Form" and the "Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living (ADL)". Subsequently, the experimental group will receive structured Montessori-based interventions tailored for nursing home residents. These application sessions will be conducted two days a week for a total duration of 8 weeks. Upon completion of the 8-week intervention period, post-test evaluations will be administered to measure the outcomes. This final assessment will include the re-administration of the "Barthel Index of ADL" to determine functional changes, alongside the "Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination (SMMSE)" or the "MMSE for the Uneducated", depending on the participant's educational level, to evaluate cognitive changes.
