🌿 Home Cognitive Stimulation Program – February 2025 🌿

If you are living with dementia, or supporting someone who is, I am opening enrolments for my Home Cognitive Stimulation Program.

This evidence-informed program is done at home with a family member or trusted support person and is designed to fit gently into everyday life.

🕰️ 2 x 20-minute activities, twice a week
✨ February 2025 intake now open
✨ 40% off for this intake
✨ Home Care funding has been used by previous participants

The focus is on building confidence, communication, and connection with the people who matter most, while also supporting cognitive wellbeing in a positive and meaningful way.

The program is structured, practical, and strengths-based — offering families clear guidance and enjoyable activities they can share together.

If you’d like more information or want to see whether this program may be a good fit, please comment below or send me an email (details in comments). I’m very happy to have a chat.

Warmly,
Amanda

Love this

This is a beautiful example of how we can bridge the gap between generations. By offering their time, students not only receive a place to stay but also build meaningful relationships with elderly residents. It’s a reminder that our connections with others—across all ages—enrich our lives and give us perspective. By offering companionship, we can ease loneliness and create a community where love and understanding flow freely. 🌸👵👴

🧠 Supporting Someone with Young Onset Dementia?

We’re here to help!

If you're supporting a person living with Young Onset Dementia, our Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) groups offer a supportive, small-group environment where participants can enjoy fun, engaging activities designed to support thinking skills, communication, confidence and mood. CST is led by a neuro physiotherapist, is evidence-based, and has been linked with slowing cognitive decline.

💙 Do you have a respite support team who would love structured, meaningful ways to engage with a participant at home? Our At-Home™️ CST programs provide therapy-based tasks that not only support cognitive health but also help to build connection and enjoyment together.

To find out more, comment below or send us a message – we’re always happy to chat and help you find the right fit!

Loneliness isn’t just a feeling – it can impact the brain!
Regular, meaningful conversation supports memory, mood, and wellbeing. 💬💙

Being around people doesn’t always mean someone isn't lonely. It’s the connection that matters - feeling heard and understood.

People living with dementia can find it hard to follow conversations in noisy or busy settings. A calm, supportive environment and your full attention can mean everything.

🫖 Take the time. Slow it down. Connection matters.
