Dementia care and memory rehabilitation help our clients with memory illnesses.

Many memory training tools

Dementia care includes many elements, which support memory rehabilitation for dementia and Alzheimer’s prevention. We use music therapy in its various forms and handcrafts to support eye-hand coordination. We play games which are suitable for elderly with dementia. For example Memoera and board games such as Chess, Bingo and Mahjong.

Board and brain games help activate the memory. Familiar games improve memory and reduces the risk of dementia and memory loss.

Games are a challenging and meaningful activity. Winning will bring a feeling of success and well-being. Dementia care and brain training bring joy and fun. Some of the games can be played individually, and others in a group.  Playing together enhance the sense of community and allow more active interaction between the seniors and caregivers. Skills which are forgotten can be re-activated through games like Memoera in a fun way.

Mind and body connection is important in dementia care

Dance therapy reduces stress and anxiety such as agitation or frustration. Mood swings can be a result of sudden recollection of past disturbing events.

Challenging behaviour is quite common among the elderly with dementia. Music therapy relaxes and boosts self-confidence and self-esteem. It reduces Alzheimer’s symptoms and problems with memory loss.

Wellness Trail will help relax

Successful memory rehabilitation program contains elements for brain relaxation. The studies show beneficial results when listening to birds chirping in a nature.

Our Wellness Trails allow our clients to immerse with the surrounding nature. Nature can also trigger memories from the past.
