Abstract

A pilot project for delivering Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) to a group of residents with varying cognitive, sensory and physical abilities. The group members were selected by the home manager with the aim of offering this intervention to all residents who may benefit from attending the sessions. This method of selection resulted in a large heterogeneous group of older adults requiring a flexible and creative delivery of activities within the framework of the manualised CST programme. Outcomes for the group were positive, indicated by the average increase in Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores of 1.31 points.
