There’s no denying that art makes the world a better place. Numerous studies also show that creativity has a variety of health benefits, both mentally and physically.
One of those benefits is its ability to improve the quality of life of patients with dementia.
We’ve handled dozens of dementia cases, working as a licensed provider of Home Health Services.
Art therapy is one of the many services that we provide here at our Group Home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.
For patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s, art therapy can help reduce agitation and anxiety — two of the most common behaviors caused by these diseases.
When an adult with a cognitive impairment participates in creative activities, they are more likely to remain focused on the task at hand, resulting in a reduction in anxiety and a mood boost.
It also gives them an outlet for self-expression.
Dementia can impair a patient’s communication and language skills. Since art uses a part of the brain that is different from that used for language, it gives patients the ability to express themselves better.
