Bringing creativity and connection to hospital dementia wards.

​

Our Movement is Medicine program is specially designed for hospital environments, catering to patients in dementia-specific wards. Through a carefully crafted blend of theatre games, movement exercises, and storytelling, the program encourages engagement, self-expression, and meaningful social connection.

Each session is tailored to the needs and abilities of participants, creating a safe and stimulating environment where patients can explore movement, imagination, and narrative play. These activities are not only enjoyable—they also support cognitive stimulation, emotional wellbeing, and social connection, helping patients feel seen, heard, and creatively involved even in a clinical setting.

By combining elements of theatre and movement with person-centred care, Movement is Medicine demonstrates how creativity can be a powerful tool for enhancing quality of life, fostering connection, and supporting dementia care in hospitals.

The Impact of Creative Caring’s Movement is Medicine program:

​

Creative Caring is more than just a dance class, it’s a community and a support system. Research has shown that regular physical activity, especially dance, can slow cognitive decline, enhance emotional well-being, and improve physical strength. By participating in the Movement is Medicine program, individuals living with dementia can find a renewed sense of purpose, a greater quality of life, and a vibrant connection to others.

​

Creative Caring isn’t just about preventing the effects of dementia, it’s about celebrating life, one dance move at a time.
