Therapy sessions 

GREAT Cognitive Rehabilitation provides an individual problem-solving approach to enabling people living with dementia to function at the best level possible, remain engaged, and manage everyday activities. It uses evidence-based rehabilitation strategies to address the impact of cognitive impairments in the areas where people with dementia themselves want to manage better.

​

Therapy sessions are carried out in the persons home with a care partner if available.

The process takes between 6 - 8 weeks with a practitioner visiting once a week. There is also often practice work to do in between visits.

 

The aim of therapy is to help identify meaningful goals to work towards achieving. Here are a selection of goals people have chosen before: 

​

I will.... or I will be able to...

 

• make and receive calls using my mobile phone


• recall my grandchildren’s names

• turn the gas cooker off after use

• find my way to my bedroom in my care home

• set the programmes on the dishwasher on my own

• knit a blanket following a pattern

• take my medication without being prompted

• do the shopping on my own

• remember the names of the people at my bowls club

• keep track of what I’ve done during the day

• keep track of my appointments

• find my keys when I need them
