About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and test an educational program about dementia in older adults living with epilepsy. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Can providing education on healthy aging, chronic disease management, dementia, and modifiable lifestyle dementia risk factors improve dementia knowledge and health literacy among older adults with epilepsy? 2. Can aging related education and resources improve quality of life among older adults with epilepsy?
Participants will:
* Be randomized to an intervention group or a control group. * Complete a 12-week group educational program (intervention group). * Complete pre- and post-program evaluation (intervention and control groups).
