Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an immersive virtual reality mindfulness meditation program is feasible and acceptable for older adults living in long-term care settings in Quebec who have mild to moderate neurocognitive disorder. It will also learn about the safety and potential effects of the program on well-being. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the virtual reality mindfulness meditation program feasible and acceptable for residents and staff in long-term care settings? * Does the adapted version of the program show potential benefits for well-being, including depression, anxiety, quality of life, mindfulness, pain, and loneliness? * What practical challenges, user experiences, and side effects, such as cybersickness, occur during the program? Researchers will compare the Toujours Dimanche virtual reality mindfulness meditation program designed for older adults with mild to moderate neurocognitive disorder, and standard care alone to see if the adapted program is feasible, acceptable, and potentially helpful. Participants will: * Take part in up to 8 virtual reality mindfulness meditation sessions over 4 weeks, if assigned to a virtual reality group * Complete questionnaires before and after the 4-week study period * Share feedback about their experience, when possible * Be observed by staff or research team members to document feasibility, acceptability, user experience, and safety
