A significant portion of the resources and services of the Catalunya La Pedrera Foundation are allocated to improving the quality of life of elderly individuals suffering from cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease or other dementias through its dignified aging program.

La Pedrera addresses the support for understanding needs of people with cognitive impairment.

Accessible visits to the exhibitions:

Since 2015, the temporary exhibitions at La Pedrera have offered cognitive stimulation visits and activities for groups with the aim of fostering memory stimulation before, during, and after the visit. With the collaboration of psychologists and neuropsychologists specialized in dementias and familiar with the groups and their needs, cognitive stimulation materials are created. These materials include selected artworks that are likely to be more engaging to work on language, orientation, attention, and reminiscence, among other cognitive processes.

These resources, specifically created for participants of the Foundation's Memory Enhancement program, are also made available to other entities visiting La Pedrera's exhibitions that have socialization programs to facilitate inclusion and the creative use of leisure time, such as:

• Associations of relatives of people with Alzheimer's.
• Foundations specializing in cognitive impairment.
• Day centers and residences.
