Cognitive Therapeutics
The Cognitive Therapeutics Method (CTM) is a patent-pending cognitive stimulation program developed by the scientific division of Home Care Assistance. The program aims to improve quality of life by enhancing mental acuity as well as to delay onset and slow the progression of symptoms of cognitive decline.
Science-Based Cognitive Stimulation Program
Our interventions are targeted towards five primary cognitive domains that have been shown to be affected by cognitive decline. Home Care Assistance caregivers are trained in over 20 activities primarily targeting the five cognitive domains. Certified Interventionists are trained in a wider range of activities, carefully selected for each client and targeting the cognitive as well as non-cognitive areas.
-
Executive Functioning
includes cognitive abilities such as reasoning, problem solving, judgment, and cognitive flexibility
-
Attention
refers to the ability to focus on a specific piece of information for a sustained period of time while suppressing awareness of other competing distractions
-
Language
refers to the ability to execute verbal functions including spontaneous speech, speech repetition, speech comprehension, naming, reading and writing
-
Visual-Spatial Perception
involves the ability to accurately perceive and understand the visual relationships between objects and space
-
Memory
refers to the ability to retain information and utilise it later for adaptive purposes
More about CTM activities
CTM activities were developed by our expert team based on scientific research on non-pharmacological interventions for cognitive decline. They are consistently updated to reflect the latest findings and best practices. These activities target a wide array of cognitive domains including memory, executive functioning, attention, language, and visual spatial perception, as well as some non-cognitive domains.
The activities have varying levels of difficulty making the program appropriate for all clients, from those who are not yet affected by cognitive impairment to those with more severe symptoms.
The activities are designed to be fun and stimulating. The focus of the program is not on getting the “right” answer, but on engaging and reasoning. Implementing the program one-on-one in the comfort of home allows clients to function optimally by avoiding the confusion and distress that come with an unfamiliar environment.
