A person becomes more susceptible to diseases as one ages. If you have senior family members who are suffering from mobility issues which means they are facing difficulty in carrying out their day-to-day activities or if you notice a few signs that are indicative of the onset of memory problems like dementia, then it is time that you take proper measures in order to ensure the well-being of your loved ones. You can only achieve that by considering going for a senior living option such as an assisted living facility. Being a resident of the Phoenix region in Arizona, you can approach the acclaimed Anthem Senior Living which consists of some of the most compassionate and experienced caregivers.

There is a perception among people that once an individual starts to slip, the individual is suffering from memory loss and the die is cast. But the truth is that staying physically and mentally active can make all the difference which includes brain fitness.

Brain fitness involves a lot of things like doing something like a crossword puzzle can help immensely, as well as socializing among friends. The program mainly focuses on intergenerational activities, wellness lectures and trivia games which help senior people in understanding the significance of staying intellectually engaged.
Although there’s no definitive evidence that something like a game of 20 questions can deter symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease but it can definitely keep the brain sharp.

The brain training games and software on the market are proving to be beneficial in preventing the development of cognitive impairments. But it is advisable to build cognitive reserves that can help push off the signs of dementia later in life. Staying social is one of the best ways to keeping cognitive skills at their peak.

Having an active social network can prove to be one of the beneficial ways in staving off dementia because as per study, women 78 and older with large group of friends are less likely to develop the condition. Contrarily, isolation is known to cause more depression among older adults that can lead to further health problems.

Assisted living facilities offer a variety of services that can help senior people in staying safe and healthy. Senior people who generally love staying in their house may want to consider moving to an assisted living facility as there are opportunities to stay active and engaged, while meeting a whole host of new people who are as eager to live their retirement years in the best possible way.
