A series of group activities designed to stimulate thought, conversation and memory appears to improve the mental functioning of people with mild or moderate dementia, according to a new review of the evidence.This is good news for the industry, said Robert Winningham, a professor at the University of Western Oregon, who was not involved in this study.
