Research indicates that there is a strong link between creative activities and benefits for people experiencing dementia. With everything from painting or crafting to listening to music being very stimulating for the brain, this can help some people with dementia with areas such as communication, self-expression, stress relief and connecting with the world in different ways.
If they used to have creative hobbies in the past, picking these up again, if appropriate, can also help them to make more connections in regular activities, may spark some nostalgia or long-term memories and could help improve their enjoyment or quality of life.
