Nurturing Your Loved One's Brain Health
9 Habits to Promote Cognitive Wellness
At The Bridges at Mission and The Bridges at Edinburg, we understand the importance of maintaining cognitive health, especially for our cherished seniors. As experts in assisted living, Alzheimer’s, and memory care, we’re committed to using current research and their valuable insights to help you support your loved ones.
Here are 9 brain-healthy habits that can make a significant difference:
- Embrace Lifelong Learning
We encourage your loved ones to stay curious and engage in new activities. Learning stimulates the brain and can be as simple as trying a new hobby or solving puzzles.
- Value Continued Education
Whether it’s attending our fun education-focused activity classes (like our art class) or exploring online courses, ongoing education is a powerful tool in reducing cognitive decline risks and we strive to help our residents explore the educational paths they’re most interested in.
- Stay Physically Active
Regular exercise isn’t just good for the body; it’s crucial for brain health. Our facilities offer tailored exercise programs for seniors of all abilities.
- Prioritize Safety
At the Bridges, our staff works at Fall Prevention steps such as removing clutter from the room floors, removing rugs, and monitoring meds which might cause dizziness.
- Monitor Blood Pressure
Regular check-ups and a heart-healthy lifestyle are key. Our care team assists residents in managing their blood pressure effectively. At the Bridges, Blood Pressure is checked daily by our staff.
- Manage Diabetes
For those with Type 2 diabetes, we monitor sugar levels to maintain resident health. We also support residents through proper management of diet, exercise, and medication (if necessary).
- Encourage Healthy Eating
A balanced diet rich in brain-boosting nutrients can help reduce cognitive decline. Our dining services offer nutritious, delicious meals tailored to residents’ needs.
- Maintain a Healthy Weight
A healthy weight contributes to overall well-being. We provide personalized support to help residents achieve and maintain their weight.
- Ensure Quality Sleep
Good sleep is vital for brain health. At The Bridges, we create comfortable sleeping environments and promote healthy sleep habits.
