New South San Francisco research
demonstrates creative writing combats
dementia
New pioneering research from Elder Manage
Care shows that crafting stories and poetry can
boost cognitive abilities for seniors suffering
from Alzheimer's or dementia. The research
investigated 10 individuals aged 45-96 with
Alzheimer's to assess the impact of creative
writing on cognitive decline
In-home care for seniors mostly focuses on
helping them stay in familiar surroundings.
Combining at-home care and creative writing
can help to preserve memory, slow down
cognitive decline and improve quality of life.
Elder Manage Care is driving forward the
transformation of in-home care services.
Dementia encompasses a variety of
conditions that cause progressive
and debilitating mental decline,
including issues with remembering,
reasoning, and problem-solving. The
most commonly seen type is
Alzheimer's Disease.
The new study demonstrates that
stimulating the minds struggling with
ailments like vascular dementia,
Alzheimer's disease, or mild cognitive
impairment with imaginative writing can
help keep senior citizens' brains sharp
and slow down mental deterioration.
Carers and seniors should be on the lookout for
tell-tale symptoms of dementia such as short-
term memory loss, difficultly in cognitive
functioning, and confusion. Though there is no
remedy for dementia and Alzheimer's, mentally
engaging tasks like creative writing slows down
cognitive decline.
As the prevalence of Alzheimer's and other
forms of dementia continues to rise, Elder
Manage Care emphasizes the critical need
for fresh approaches to care. This is
important. 78 million elderly citizens in the
US may be afflicted with Alzheimer's or
dementia by 2030.
Elder Manage Care's innovative approach of
combining typical home care with tailored
memory care programs is an example of fresh
thinking. A comprehensive strategy to take
care of both the body and mind will enable
elders to stay self-sufficient and enjoy life for a
longer period of time.
Clients experienced a heightened
connection with their loved ones and carers,
as well as an overall improvement in
happiness levels. "XXXX’s improvement in
quality of life was clearly evident, she felt
engaged and the collaboration kept her
clear, sharp, happy and supported."
The new study also demonstrated that creative
writing: - Offers a way for individuals to express
themselves when dementia hinders verbal
communications - Helps prevent burnout in
dementia carers by minimizing difficult
behaviors and outbursts - Can unlock long
buried feelings, emotions and memories
Emily Chase, CEO comments “
Writing creatively allows us to
express ourselves, no matter the
situation. Through this, we're able to
give a voice to the voiceless and
provide clarity in otherwise chaotic
lives.”
