Bright Memories Dementia Service
- Location: Age UK Cheshire
- Price: £60.00
£60 a session (includes 2-course meal and refreshments).
The Bright Memories service is a day activity group for people living with memory loss or the early stages of dementia (with or without diagnosis).
The groups offer a place where people living with memory loss can enjoy a wide range of activities that combine mental, physical and social stimulation, including arts and crafts, reminiscence therapy, quizzes, music and movement and a variety of games such as darts, dominoes and carpet bowls.
All activities are planned to maintain the cognition of members, we do this using Maintenance Cognitive Stimulation Therapy in which staff have received training.
Refreshments are provided throughout the day, along with a delicious and nutritious hot two-course meal.
As a local charity focusing on the needs of older people, we have many years’ experience of providing interesting, stimulating and appropriate activities for people living with memory loss or dementia. This service builds on that experience, using a combination of paid staff and volunteers, to ensure those we are supporting and their carers receive an excellent level of service.
The groups support carers by offering much needed respite as they do not attend with the member.
We believe that memory loss shouldn’t be a barrier to fun, friendship and stimulation for the mind and we are passionate about creating a safe, caring and welcoming environment for our members.
