Cognitive training consists of activities designed to enhance and improve memory, reasoning, and processing speed. Some studies found that older adults who participated in these cognitive training activities had improved mental skills in the area they were trained at. Long-term observational studies also reported that engaging in informal cognitive-stimulating activities like reading or playing card games with their caregivers can lower seniors’ risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
These promising findings are our basis for including recreational and cognitive-stimulating activities in our companionship services. Here are some engaging activities that can help improve the cognitive function of your senior loved one:
- Learning a new language
Language learning is a hobby or interest of some. For seniors, taking up this new hobby is one way to keep their minds active and constantly absorbing new information. As a provider of elderly care in Washington, we believe it is never too late for seniors to learn and discover new things. - Card or board games
Playing card or board games does not only exercise our cognitive faculties, it is also a fun way to socialize with family and friends. Our companion caregivers include helping enhance a senior’s socialization skills as they provide home care in Seattle, Washington.
There are many other engaging activities that your senior loved ones can try to maintain their cognitive health. At our Home Care Agency, we encourage our senior clients to be cognitively active. Feel free to contact or visit us at Hubaal Home Care to know more about our services.
