Moving Together to Stay Healthy and Independent
Movement is in our DNA and at the core of our programs. Our research shows that the combination of movement with other components included in our programs —mindfulness, mental stimulation, social engagement, and music — contributes to the improvement of both physical and brain health and can help older adults with memory loss, Alzheimer's, dementia, or related conditions reduce the risk of further cognitive decline.
