Workshops created specifcally for seniors and those living with dementia
Engaging in creative activities helps maintain cognitive function by encouraging the use of motor skills, problem-solving abilities, and spatial awareness. As individuals with dementia participate in these activities, they create new neural pathways, potentially slowing down cognitive decline.
The repetitive nature of many arts and crafts activities can be incredibly calming. Focusing on the present moment, the feel of the materials, and the act of creating itself can provide a much-needed escape from daily worries and anxieties. This sense of relaxation can be particularly beneficial for managing agitation and promoting better sleep
Engaging in arts and crafts can also be a wonderful social activity. Participating in group sessions or crafting with loved ones fosters a sense of connection and belonging. This can be especially beneficial for those experiencing feelings of isolation.
Art provides an alternative avenue for expression. Through colours, shapes, and textures, individuals with dementia can express emotions and thoughts they may struggle to articulate verbally. This can be particularly helpful for those experiencing frustration or anxiety.
