New Millbrae CA Study - Creative Writing Combats Dementia Mental Deterioration

New studies spearheaded by Elder Manage Care in collaboration with aging individuals, their families, and carers reveal that taking up creative writing can help energize the mind and enhance cognitive functioning among seniors suffering from Alzheimer's and dementia. Traditional home care services help the elderly to live at home but rarely assist in the management of cognitive conditions like Alzheimer's or dementia. The new research covers Elder Manage Care's new service which blends home care with the power of creativity to help combat memory care diseases.

The combined service also offers additional support for family members and carers by reducing the challenging symptoms and agitation that people living with dementia experience. Keeping the brain active helps slow the progression of cognitive issues and positively impacts mental well-being. The research tracked 10 separate individuals aged 45 to 96 battling ailments like Alzheimer's, Dementia, Bi- Polar and more, over a span of 4 to 6 weeks - examining how expressive writing can be beneficial in enhancing psychological well-being.

Family and carers commented on outcomes: \"I noticed immediate improvements in overall happiness.\" \"XXXX’s improvement in quality of life was clearly evident, she felt engaged and the collaboration kept her clear, sharp, happy and supported.\" \"XXXX’s life took an immediate turn for the better.\" \"XXXX’s depression has lifted for now and she seems to have a purpose in life again. The power of activating the mind is undeniable.\" \"XXXX served the community for years. She is much less depressed, the study has brought her managerial instinct out and she now participates in every activity.\"

Elder Manage Care stresses the need to create new strategies for caring for those with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia as their numbers steadily increase. With projections of 78 million older adults facing an Alzheimer's or dementia diagnosis by 2030, Elder Manage Care's approach is a pioneering combination of home care and specialized memory support.

Elder Manage Care offers in-home and memory care services throughout San Francisco Bay and Chicago, focusing on safeguarding the psychological health of elderly folks living at home, particularly those dealing with dementia. Emily Chase, CEO comments “ Expressing thoughts and emotions through the written word can be an incredibly potent way to make your presence known. We give those in need, a platform to speak out, allowing them to share the complexities of life as they experience it.”
