Summary

This study tested whether cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) — structured group activities like word games, quizzes, and discussions — could improve thinking skills and engagement in 10 nursing home residents with mild-to-moderate dementia. Participants attended 45-60 minute sessions twice a week for 7 weeks. Researchers measured changes in cognition and engagement before and after the program to see if CST helped.
