Mindfulness therapy significantly reduced anxiety among older adults in a residential care home. In a study of 38 residents with anxiety, the mean anxiety score dropped from 21.05 before the intervention to 16.39 afterward, a statistically significant reduction. The therapy offers a non-pharmacological option for managing anxiety in this population, who often face loneliness, fear of death, and feelings of abandonment after relocation.
