Improve Your Memory
New Program Coming to Brookletts Place Senior Center!
Do you know that recent research on memory and brain function indicates that simple brain exercises may help improve memory?
Brookletts Place-Talbot County Senior Center is pleased to announce that it will launch the StrongerMemory℠ Program on October 3rd. The Stronger Memory Program, developed by Goodwin House, Inc, a senior living and health care services organization in the National Capital Region, is an innovative brain health program for older adults. Recently, Goodwin House and the Maryland Department of Aging announced a statewide partnership to offer this program in several senior centers in Maryland.
The program is based on brain research that indicates that brain health exercises that focus on the prefrontal cortex of the brain might help seniors stabilize and improve their cognitive function. The exercises, done daily, include reading out loud, simple math exercises and handwriting. The participant will do the exercises at home and attend a one-hour, weekly session at the senior center.
The program will be offered free at Brookletts Place Senior Center at 400 Brookletts Avenue in Easton, MD. To learn more about the program, please attend an informational meeting at Brookletts Place on September 19th at 10:00 AM. To learn more or to register for the informational meeting, please call Teresa at 410-822-2869.
