What does the REMS Programme do?
The programme’s interdisciplinary team designs meaningful activities based on life experience and preferences.
Elderly people
Chosen by the participants themselves and designed based on their interests and life stories, these activities help maintain memory and related functions. This helps maintain their cognitive abilities for as long as possible, delaying deterioration and encouraging independence. This activity is mostly carried out in groups.
It aims to improve general motor skills, prevent disorientation, maintain an optimum degree of mobility and autonomy, body schema, coordination and self-confidence. This activity helps conserve physical health and, at the same time, encourages relationships with others and teamwork, while promoting an active lifestyle for as long as possible.
This social activity has three specific goals: to foster interpersonal relationships by avoiding isolation, improving the mood and self-esteem of participants, and encouraging autonomy. The activities are designed and chosen based on the preferences of participants.
Psychologists and neuropsychologist are professionals who support participants during the process of cognitive impairment. These experts ask about participants preferences and life history, to reach an agreement on an activities schedule. This support gives them the opportunity to stay active while developing strategies to adapt to their situation.
