Cognitive stimulation therapy offers a ray of hope for our loved ones facing memory and thinking challenges caused by dementia. By engaging in various stimulating activities like discussions, puzzles, music, and practical tasks, they can exercise their minds and potentially slow down cognitive decline. These sessions, typically conducted in small groups by skilled professionals, aim to stimulate thinking and memory.

Our trained Care Professionals can also help support them by providing cognitive stimulation on a one-to-one basis within the comfort of home. Word or number puzzles, when incorporated into daily routines, have shown promising results in enhancing memory, thinking, and overall cognitive abilities in individuals living with dementia. What matters most is engaging in brain-stimulating activities regularly.
