Fantastic experience: Hudson is an excellent therapist in gauging the capacities of my mother (103 y.o) and making the exercises varied and engaging for her. So important when dementia is involved, as I strongly believe that all the physical movements and personal interaction assist in slowing her cognitive decline too.
