Cognitive Stimulation Therapy for People Living with Dementia

Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) groups are for people living with a mild to moderate dementia (this includes people on a waiting list) who would like to get involved with activities that stimulate the brain in a social setting.

CST is proven to slow down the progression of dementia in some people.

Our groups are fun and provide a space to share common difficulties with others and find solutions.

In Plymouth : These groups run for 2 hours a week for 15 weeks and if you enjoy and benefit from coming along to these groups then there is an opportunity to carry on for another 15 weeks with CST+.

In Cornwall: Groups run in Wadebridge, Newquay, Liskeard and St Austell and are maintenance groups therefore now time limit other than ensuring that the beneficiary continues to meet the criteria. 

 

Service access criteria: Mild to moderate dementia, or on the waiting list. Needs to be independent with personal care needs and can participate within group work for at least an hour. Wants to attend and can do so independently of a carer.
