Sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch are senses we likely all take for granted. Elders with dementia often experience dulling or loss of some senses. Cooking and baking are fully immersive experiences which engage all the senses. It’s a very tactile activity, which allows them to experience different textures and sensations. It also gets them moving and can improve hand-eye coordination through stirring, kneading dough, and other movements. Familiar sights, sounds, and smells can be incredibly pleasant to encounter, and can be quite relaxing. Our cooking sessions include Thai desserts, healthy smoothies, homemade popsicles, and some other delicious meals and snacks prepared by the help of our team.
