A Human Approach to helping Individuals with Dementia!

Cognitive and physical exercises as well as social stimulation are all recommended as preventative measures to maintain brain health and we believe this should be extended and considered an integral part of treating dementia.

The importance of cognitive stimulation in relation to dementia may be new to some but it has long been recognized as an essential component of human development and mental and emotional well being.  In addition, we are also seeing the emergence of more data that psychosocial interventions actually improve quality of life of persons with dementia as well as for the family.  Reframing the situation from a focus on “all that has been lost” to one of “all that still remains” may ultimately be the most meaningful source of support.
