The goal of this pilot randomised clinical trial is to compare a 12-week Healthy Body \& Mind Program to usual care in older adults living with cognitive decline and osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the Healthy Body \& Mind Program improve health-related quality of life in older adults living with cognitive decline and osteoarthritis (pre/post and intervention/control)? * Does the Healthy Body \& Mind Program improve other health outcomes (cognition, pain, anxiety/depression, physical function) in older adults living with cognitive decline and osteoarthritis (pre/post and intervention/control)? Participants will complete a co-designed and multidisciplinary 12-week program that includes physical activity and lifestyle education (nutrition, social activity and managing anxiety/depression). Researchers will compare outcomes between the intervention group and a wait-list control to see if there are difference in outcome measures (quality of life, cognition, pain, anxiety/depression, physical function).
