Description

A four-class series that can be repeated each month! Memory training is ideal for people who forget where they place items, people who recognize faces but not remember names, people who walk into a room and not remember why, people who forget to do things in the future, people who live a sedentary life. Our goal is to help older adults remember they have value and a place in the world. They can secure that place by remaining cognitively intact and physically active. Memory Fit programs teach participants about the 4 types of memory we have and how we use those memories daily. We teach brain and heart healthy diet and which foods support heart and brain health. The class is interactive and students participate so they can start learning and using the concepts immediately.

Course One: February 1-22
Course Two: March 1-22
Course Three: April 5-26

Each course meets weekly for one month (four weeks) and courses can be repeated. $40 per person, per month.
Open to ALL older adults
