Therapeutic Approaches to
Memory Loss & Dementia
All of our projects and services are designed, developed and built on the needs of those affected by dementia.
We are a team of dedicated individuals who share an ethos of compassion, kindness, fun and curiosity. The team is led by Kate Smith, a qualified nurse and award-winning social entrepreneur who, along with the team, works across Devon and Cornwall.
CHAMPIONS OF
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST)
Memory Matters are champions of Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST); a therapy proven to slow the progression of dementia and increase the quality of life.
We work closely with like-minded individuals and organisations to achieve our goal of ensuring that every person diagnosed with dementia, as well as those close to them, has access to the support they need to continue to lead a happy and fulfilled life.
COME AND VISIT
Moments Cafe
The interior of Moments Café was designed to ignite conversation; therefore, we decided to create different eras, including the 1950’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Our customers can then choose which time zone they would like to sit in whilst they enjoy a nice cup of coffee and reminisce.
