We used the "Aging Wisely" program for seniors living in the community, which uses elements of CBT and is specifically designed for older people over the age of 65 living in the community who may be in a worried, anxious or depressed mood. The program focuses on psychoeducation to manage these feelings. Seniors learn to change the ways they think and behave that maintain depression and anxiety. The sessions include education on the process of aging, coping with loneliness, improving sleep, coping with worry and avoidance, coping with loss and death. During the sessions, participants learn to track mood, motivation to change, goal setting, planning pleasant activities, identifying thoughts, working with useless thoughts, and practice techniques to replace useless thoughts. The last two sessions are dedicated to assertiveness and communication, and preventing recurrence of problems.

Reminiscence is a method of working with memories. Remembering has an irreplaceable place in every person's life. It is a natural activity that can encourage people, make them aware of their own achievements, different moments in life, point out their value, promote self-esteem and contribute to the development of relationships. Self-remembering is a natural form of cognitive stimulation.

The Geriatric Depression Scale may be used with healthy, medically ill, and mild to moderately cognitively impaired older adults. It has been extensively used incommunity, acute care, and long-term care settings. A Short Form GDS consisting of 15 questions was developed in 1986. The total score of the Geriatric Depression Scale can ranged from 0 to 15 points, and higher score indicates more depression symptoms. Scores of 0-4 are considered normal, 5-8 indicate mild depression; 9-11 indicate moderate depression; and12-15 indicate severe depression.

The MoCA evaluates different types of cognitive abilities. Theseinclude - orientation, short-term memory, executivefunction/visuospatial ability (language abilities, abstraction, animalnaming, attention), clock-drawing test. Scores on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment range from 0 to 30, with a score of 26 and higher generally considered normal. The scoring breakdown is as follows: visuospatial and executivefunctioning (5 points), animal naming (3 points), attention (6 points), language (3 points), abstraction (2 points), delayed recall (5 points), orientation (6 points), Test MoCA makes it possible to identify sooner the early cognitive disorders, because it evaluates one's memory in detail and analyzes the executive functions.

The Older People's Quality of Life Questionnaire (OPQoL-brief) consisted of 13 statements, with the participants being asked to indicate the extent to which they agree with each statement by selecting one of five possible options ("strongly disagree", "disagree", "neither agree nor disagree", "agree" and "strongly agree"). The range in the original version is based on the principle of point allocation (1-5). The items are summed to provide a total OPQoL-brief score. The total score of Older People's Quality of Life Questionnaire ranges from 13 to 65 and higher scores indicate better quality of life. The OPQoL-brief questionnaire also includes a preliminary single item on global quality of life. This single item is not scored with the OPQOL, it is coded as very good to very bad.
