Staying Active with Dementia or Alzheimer’s

It is important to make sure you are getting up and doing some sort of physical activity daily when you have Dementia or Alzheimer’s, which is something healthy people should be doing as well. There is actually scientific evidence that working out daily helps keep your memory sharp. Exercising actually encourages the brain to produce new neurons, which helps prevent memory loss. Neurons are a cell that is used to transfer information to other cells in your body. This is why exercise is recommended to help with memory care in patients who are diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

Our independent senior living arrangements at Wartburg are perfect for those who need assistance with memory care because our staff will make sure their residents stay active. The senior apartments we have available make it easy to vary the level of assisted living to fit the needs of each individual that lives at Wartburg. We have residents that only need help occasionally and others that need home health care services daily. Our home health aides help with preparing meals, personal hygiene, cleaning, and anything else our residents need help with. Our facility is within close proximity of Mt. Vernon, NY; Riverdale, NY; Eastchester, NY; New Rochelle, NY; Scarsdale, NY; Larchmont, NY; Pelham, NY; and Bronxville, NY.
