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.

“The incredible staff at Primrose found ways to cater to his needs, and let his personality flourish”

“I wholeheartedly recommend Primrose to any family looking for a warm, safe and supportive home for their family member in need. My dad had Alzheimer’s Disease, and lived at Primrose for the last 5 years of his life. One of the things that I appreciated and respected most about Primrose was how their care for my dad changed as his disease evolved. My dad entered Primrose in a high functioning state, and the incredible staff at Primrose found ways to cater to his needs, and let his personality flourish. As my dad’s condition declined, the staff at Primrose kept him engaged, and went above and beyond to let him continue to do the things that he loved, even though his ability to do them was strained. The grace, compassion, and love that the Primrose staff showed my dad all the way until his last day was so special, and they helped my dad live out his last days in dignity and comfort. This compassionate care for their residents starts with the owner, is brought to life by the management, and extends to each member of their amazing staff. I feel very fortunate to have found Primrose, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive home for their loved one.”
