What is MCST?

Maintenance Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (MCST) is a weekly one- to two-hour-long programme for people living with mild to moderate dementia. 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 as well as creative and musical activities.

What is the impact of MCST?

Age UK's MCST programme was found to have improved or slowed the decline of the cognitive abilities of people living with mild to moderate dementia. It also improved their overall wellbeing. Clients, carers and staff saw a range of improvements in clients' cognition and a range of other behaviours.
