Don't Miss Upcoming Minds in Motion®
One of the challenges people living with dementia and their care partners can face is isolation. Minds in Motion is a wonderful way to get active mentally and physically, in an environment that is dementia-friendly and fun.
For Alzheimer's Awareness month 2025, we're talking about 10 ways to reduce your risk of dementia. Three tips in dementia risk reduction are physical exercise, mental or cognitive stimulation, and avoiding isolation. Minds in Motion is the perfect way to get started!
