According to research, cognitive rehabilitation helps improve a person's functioning in the daily activities targeted by the interventions. These benefits can last for several months after the interventions end. (Sources: World Alzheimer Report 2025 , Kudlicka et al., 2023 ). Occupational therapy can also help reduce psychological and behavioral symptoms and improve quality of life ( Bennett et al., 2019 ).o For caregivers, home-based occupational therapy services are associated with a better quality of life, less distress, and a reduction in the number of hours of assistance offered to the person living with dementia ( Bennett et al, 2019 ).
