Ann Dobbins, Executive Director of Memory Matters gave an informative presentation on cognitive stimulation therapy to approximately 50 members of the Senior Citizen’s Council at its monthly meeting on November 10th. The stimulating presentation reviewed the general symptoms that individuals may experience when dealing with dementia and the success of cognitive stimulation therapy in retaining and regaining individual skills.
As Ann pointed out giving up things and interacting less can cause a downward spiral in an individual which undermines personal confidence. Memory Matters focuses on positive, one-on-one interaction to rebuild lost skills and confidence and renew a persons zest for living. As reseach has shown, health is strongly correlated with fulfillment and the cognitive stimulation therapy provided by Memory Matters helps individuals to make life memorable and enriching.
