Seniors Working on a Puzzle

The rewards of cognitive exercise are improved cognition and improved quality of life. Persons with Alzheimer’s can improve comprehensive and functional abilities with cognitive training, including the types of exercises the Primrose Brain Gym utilizes for residents. The results from participation in cognitive exercises are real and measurable.

Benefits of Cognitive Exercise

Building a healthy cognitive reserve through participation in cognitive activities can:

Be related to reduced risk of memory loss.
Make a difference between showing signs of memory loss in daily life or not, regardless of the pathological onset of Alzheimer’s.
Have beneficial effects that may last up to five years with work in the reasoning processes.
Make a significant difference when combined with training that boosts the speed of processing and the benefits can be retained.
Make a difference between dependence and independence when combined with the beneficial effects from the performance of ADL’s (Activities of Daily Living). ADL refers to basic self-care tasks, akin to the types of skills learned in childhood.

The Primrose Brain Gym includes computer-based cognitive exercises that can challenge everyone. Combining physical exercise and nutritional recipes can also help to make the most out of cognitive exercises.

They treated my mother like family

For anyone considering Primrose for your loved one, I would like to share my experience. My mother lived at Primrose for about 2 years before she passed.
Primrose was a godsend for her and us, her family. After about a month of adjusting, Primrose became home. Primrose allows so much freedom and independence for people like my mother who have progressive memory issues as well as behavioral issues, but still have so much life in them and ability to do many things. I saw that many people at Primrose needed more extensive care and were not as aware as my mother was. The beauty of Primrose is that each person is treated as an individual and receives personalized care and attention. There is structure and flexibility, beautiful grounds and kind, well-trained staff. They treated my mother like family and she could feel that.
