Overview

Cognitive stimulation therapy shows promising improvements in cognitive function and depression in older adults, suggesting a viable intervention in assisted living settings.

Key Points

  • Descriptive analyses indicated improvements in cognitive scores among participants after the CST program.
  • All participants with mild cognitive deficits and some with moderate–severe deficits showed enhancements.
  • A positive correlation was found between cognitive, naming, and reading scores before and after the CST program.
  • Evidence suggests the potential of CST in alleviating cognitive deficits and depression in assisted living residents.
