The Salvation Army’s Hadleigh Farm recently partnered with the nearby Salvation Army Bradbury Care Home for a special day for residents with dementia. Using cognitive stimulation therapy techniques, residents participate in activities that include singing, crafts, holding animals and taking in the sights and smells of a working farm. Cognitive stimulation is recognized as an effective treatment for people living with mild to moderate dementia. Sensory activities are used to help trigger memory and stimulate the mind in order to keep it active.
