Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) is the world's leading non-drug intervention for dementia, proven to delay cognitive decline by 4-6 months.

In this special podcast we talk to specialist Brain+ and its CEO Devika Wood, who explains how this digital solution is helping people living with dementia.

The therapy is delivered through multimodal group therapy, involving 5-8 residents, and recommended to be conducted twice a week over seven weeks.

CST can improve communication, reduce aggression and anxiety, and improve someone's mood.

Care homes can save time and money be reassessing how they replace and maintain their assisted baths and showers.

This is the message from moving and handling experts Medaco on the special Care Home Management podcast: ‘Top Assisted Bathing Trends That Won’t Drain Your Budget’.

Medaco is vendor-neutral, and operations director Steve Smallridge says the overall design on baths has not changed much during the company’s 40 years supporting care homes, but there are now many more options.

He adds that most baths last between 10-15 years, and providers need to decide when it is the most cost-effective time to replace assets rather than keep repairing them.

Most care homes will replace baths one at a time and it is important to be aware of wear and tear, especially when it comes to infection control and prevention.

Many baths are used for therapy nowadays as well as for general cleanliness, with features such as LED lights, spa and Bluetooth music options becoming more popular.

Showers are also becoming a more popular choice for care homes and for residents as part of any en-suite facility.

Installation manager Dave Hyde explains how new baths can be installed with minimum disruption, with many fixed in a resident’s room within one day. He also works with a nationwide team of engineers who advise care homes on how to get the most from their baths for longer.

Care homes can save time and money by digitalising their administration and, in future, having a better understanding of how artificial intelligence will change the care sector.

In our latest podcast ‘Digital Top Tip for Care Homes in 2025’ our experts discuss how care homes have reached different levels of maturity when it comes to digital transformation.

James Maynard, director of product marketing at Access Group, says providers want more integration between the systems they buy and to use data more effectively.

Iain Corrigan, commercial director at CoolCare, agrees that integration is essential to convince care homes to invest more in digital.

Also on the panel is Kate Roberts, managing director of Neuven, who says there is still work to do to convince care homes of the full benefits of going digital.
