When it comes to aging, it’s no longer about simply living longer. We want to live happier and healthier as well. In a word, we want to live better. A physically strong, adaptable body is an essential aspect of health, but mental sharpness and flexibility matter, too. Here are some of the many benefits to cognitive stimulation and training:
Mental stimulation can help maintain and potentially improve cognitive ability as people age.
Cognitive stimulation therapy may reduce the risk of developing dementia.
Cognitive training prevents a meaningful decrease in cognitive performance that comes with retirement due to a lack of engagement in cognitively complex tasks.
Ongoing, frequent cognitive training prevents further decline in mental stimulation due to conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

Family caregivers are underserved. They are critical to the healthcare system and invaluable to their families and communities. I became a Certified Caregiving Consultant™ because I want every family caregiver to feel heard and understood. I want to make their caregiving journey less stressful and more meaningful. I want to help each family caregiver balance the trials and tribulations with care and compassion and a healthy dose of love and laughter.
