Life skills stations offer multiple therapeutic benefits for dementia patients across different stages:

• Cognitive Stimulation: Engaging in familiar tasks, like sorting office supplies or folding laundry, stimulates memory recall and helps maintain mental acuity.
• Emotional Well-Being: Familiar settings reduce anxiety and agitation by evoking positive memories, fostering a sense of comfort and normalcy.
• Social Interaction: Stations encourage interaction with staff, family, or other residents, reducing feelings of isolation and promoting community.
• Physical Activity: Tasks like gardening or organizing involve movement, supporting physical health and motor skills.
• Behavioural Management: Meaningful engagement can reduce challenging behaviours like wandering, aggression, or repetitive actions.
