We train people to carry out therapeutic activities with older people who have Alzheimer's, other forms of dementia or any condition that brings about communication impairment.
Research supports the benefits for participants, including significant improvements in communication and mood and lower levels of depression for participants.
The aim is to activate each participant's potential for communication. We also provide nursing homes and carers with spiritual care resources. Sonas aPc is a registered charity. more |
