Ways 2 Wellness

Cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) is a non-pharmacological intervention program designed to improve cognitive function and well-being in seniors with mild to moderate dementia.

The program is based on the principle of stimulating different cognitive domains, such as memory, attention, language, and executive function, through engaging and challenging activities.

You can use the activities from Ways 2 Wellness books and packets as part of your home-based (CST) program to improve the cognitive function and quality of life of your Loved ones with dementia.

Did you know that the more an older person engages in mentally stimulating activities, the better the connections between their brain cells, helping them to retain their mental faculties much longer?

Keeping our brains healthy and stimulated is important, especially as we age. Seniors in dementia care can also enjoy the benefits of participating in gentle and carefully-controlled activities that help rekindle memories and give them much-needed reassurance.

Here are some brain-stimulating activities from Visiting Angels East Dorset & Hampshire to keep seniors' brains sharp. https://buff.ly/4cNKaB0

As we wrap up the National Wellness Month, it's the perfect time to reflect on how we can continue to support and enhance the well-being of seniors.

Here are 3 simple tips to keep senior wellness a priority all year long:

🧠Encourage Cognitive Stimulation: Puzzles, coloring books, and other brain games are excellent ways to keep the mind sharp. Our activity books are specially designed to challenge and engage seniors, promoting cognitive health.

🤝Promote Social Connection: Loneliness can significantly impact overall wellness. Shared activities foster connection and community among seniors.

Let's keep the spirit of wellness alive and continue to support the senior community with resources that promote their physical, mental, and emotional health.
