Maintenance Cognitive Stimulation Therapy

What is Cognitive Stimulation Therapy?

Cognitive Stimulation is the only non-drug treatment recommended to improve cognition, independence and well-being in people with mild to moderate dementia as reported by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

Group members take part in meaningful and stimulating activities, proven to help maintain memory and mental functioning. The groups provide a fun, supportive environment where people can build new friendships.

Activities include discussions, word games, quizzes, physical activities, and creative and musical activities.
