Memory Reinforcement Programme
For older people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. We offer them tools and strategies that help them maintain their abilities and improve their emotional state so that they have a good quality of life.
Aimed to elderly people in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia
What do we do?
We help participants to:
- Maintain, for as long as possible, cognitive abilities, physical abilities and personal autonomy.
- Ensure emotional and relational well-being.
- Encourage new relationships and social contacts, and prevent or reverse feelings of loneliness.
We are next to relatives to:
- Support them in the family member's illness.
- Provide them with tools and strategies to deal with the disease
How do we do it?
- From a global and integral intervention: cognitive, physical, social and emotional.
- Through meaningful activities chosen by the participants themselves and designed in relation to their interests and life stories. This allows them to stay involved and connected to everything around them.
- With an individualized follow-up where the psychologist collects the preferences of the participant, their life history and, together, they agree on an itinerary of activities. This support gives them the opportunity to stay active by developing strategies to adapt to the new reality.
- Under the model of Person-Centered Care. Participants are the protagonists of their process. We enhance skills instead of focusing on the losses that the disease entails.
- In the framework of non-pharmacological therapies, with non-chemical interventions to improve the quality of life.
