Reviews for cognitive stimulation therapy (CST)

Cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) is evidence-based, meaning that it has been trialed extensively and the resulting body of research shows that the therapy improves global cognition, memory, language, executive function, and quality of life.

Here are some testimonials from family members about how they see their loved ones after the program had started. As the effects of dementia differ from person to person, so do the results of CST.

See What Families Are Saying

We've found our mother to be so much brighter since she's started the sessions. She also looks forward to them. We can tell the difference in her sharpness on session days.

It's difficult to engage my father, and it took a lot of convincing for him to try this. He really loves the sessions and I see that he is more motivated to look after himself since he started. My wife and I think he's more talkative and more interested in life.

The sessions are wonderful and I look forward to session days (for my wife). It engages her without needing me to do it. She's in a better mood because of the program.

"My mother's brain fog has cleared up and her decision-making capacity has really improved."

I signed my husband up for this program because he was so lethargic. I see a clear improvement in him. His mind is sharper and he communicates a lot more. He's also more willing to leave the house and do things with me.

Client Story - SF

These dormant memories have been activated. I recommend people to not give up on their memories. Revitalize yourself and enjoy them. It would be great if everybody could take this program, it enhances your personal history. It opened the book of the past and showed me what I thought I had forgotten.

Client Story - Alison

I feel more confident now in my abilities, I feel like I can troubleshoot and work things out.

Client Story - David

These conversations are the best part of my week. I feel alive again and hopeful for the future.

Client Story - Robert

I think about things a lot more now. When I'm looking at something or when I'm in conversation, I think about the layers of the issue or its complexity, rather than just let the thought fade away. I feel I was in a brain fog after retirement, and this has woken me up.

Client Story - Judith

I was closed, completely shut down. You gave me the confidence to start expressing myself again and take part in life.

Client Story - Mary

After I started the program, it's like a lightbulb went on in my head. I've been so closed down for so long.

Reviews from our fellow professionals

"We saw a great improvement in the participants of our day program. The participants were more talkative and interactive. We saw that after the morning CST sessions, they were more alert and were more open to trying new activities. It's been a few months since the program ended and we still see a difference."

You got Mrs. M talking again. She talks to me now when I see her. I worked with her last week and she can answer my questions again. I really notice a difference.
