3-hour programme for persons living with mild to moderate dementia.
Introduction
The Cognitive Intervention Programme (CIP) is a 7-week programme to help participants maintain or improve their cognitive (e.g. attention, focus and memory) and social abilities.
Who is this service for
Singapore Citizens or PRs diagnosed with mild to moderate dementia who are suitable for group-based activities.
Services provided
Participants can expect to take part in CIP sessions twice a week for 7 weeks. Each three-hour session focuses on these key areas:
- Cognition – activities that stimulate the brain and memory functions (eg word and memory games)
- Physical – exercises to encourage movement and fitness (eg resistance training, silent disco)
- Social engagement – fun group-based activities to promote social interaction (eg art and music sessions)
After the 7 weeks, participants can choose to continue with weekly CIP sessions on a maintenance basis for another 26 weeks.
Besides activities for persons living with dementia, the service providers also support caregivers with resources and information, so that they can better care for their loved ones.
For actual activities offered, please check with the service providers below.
