Cognitive Care Kits
Cognitive Care Kits
In partnership with the Alzheimer Society of Simcoe County, we have created a collection of Cognitive Care Kits for those living with dementia or those in need of cognitive support.
Each kit is designed to promote cognitive function through the use of games, puzzles, memory activities and sensory supports.
There are two categories of kits:
- Early-Mid Stage (for those in the early stages of dementia or cognitive decline)
- Mid-Late Stage (for those in later stages of dementia or cognitive decline)
Check out our catalogue myBPL for full content details and to place a hold.
