CREATING A SUCCESSFUL TECHNOLOGY BASED BRAIN FITTNESS PROGRAM FOR OLDER ADULTS

Course overview

Cognitive loss and age related cognitive decline possibly presents the greatest threat to the wellness and quality of life of seniors. Medical research conducted over the past two decades concludes that participation in rigorous, sustained brain fitness exercise (cognitive stimulation) is associated with a significant reduction in the risk for dementia. With practical and affordable computer-based brain fitness products now available, senior living providers have an important opportunity to improve the wellness and quality of life of their residents. This seminar addresses how to successfully implement a computer based brain fitness program for widespread use by residents in a senior living environment.
