Age UK Reading is developing groups based on the Maintenance Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (MCST) model, supporting older people living with mild to moderate dementia.
Cognitive Stimulation is the only non-drug treatment recommended to improve cognition, independence and well-being by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
Where is MCST held, and for what duration?
We are currently running 3 MCST groups, one in Central Reading and two in Woodley.
Woodley - Tuesday 11:00 - 13:30
Caversham - Wednesday 11:00 - 13:30
Central Reading - Thursday 11:00- 13:30
Woodley - Friday 11:15- 13:45
The face to face groups run once a week for a recommended at least 24 weeks, but clients can stay as long as they wish to.
