Living with memory loss or having a diagnosis of dementia can be difficult to come to terms with but many older people live very well with both. Our trained staff use a technique called cognitive stimulation therapy which focuses on opinions rather than just facts or reminiscence. Our sessions are small in size so that everyone feels comfortable and amongst friends and are tailored to the audience. There are a range of activities and sessions on offer including games, crafts, history, current affairs and music. The sessions have proven benefits of improving social confidence, speech and memory.
