Inclusion Criteria

Older residents of retirement villages (RVs) in Auckland and Waitemata District Health Board catchments.

Exclusion Criteria

[1] Those declining informed consent

[2] Those in whom ACER (cognitive score) is less than 65 or for whom there is suspicion (from their General Practitioner or from the research team) that they lack legal capacity (most commonly by virtue of chronic cognitive impairment) to consent.
