Home Care Assistance’s on-going Mind Fit Series at the Vi at La Jolla Village focuses on enhancing brain health through various lifestyle factors including cognitive activities used in the company’s proprietary Cognitive Therapeutics Method™

September 20, 2016 // Franchising.com // La Jolla, CA – Home Care Assistance of San Diego, a leading provider of in-home care for seniors, is excited to announce that it is hosting a fun and informative on-going series in partnership with the Vi of La Jolla Village. Led by Home Care Assistance’s brain fitness expert Michelle Wile, MSW, The Mind Fit Series: Activities to Boost Brain Health covers proactive ways to enhance cognitive functioning, including activities used in the Cognitive Therapeutics Method™, a science-based cognitive stimulation program. The series will be facilitated in both the Assisted Living and Independent Living communities at the Vi of La Jolla Village. The Assisted Living series began September 12th and is being held from 10:45am-11:45am every Tuesday. The Independent Living series will begin on October 4th, 2016 and will be held from 2:30pm-3:30pm every Tuesday. This event is open to residents of the Vi of La Jolla Village and is free of charge.

“We are really excited to be presenting the Mind Fit Series at the Vi of La Jolla Village,” said Wile. “Feedback from series attendees has been overwhelming positive with individuals reporting that they not only thoroughly enjoyed doing the activities but also felt the activities positively challenged their minds.”

Providing seniors with an opportunity to stay socially engaged and connected is a key aspect of the Mind Fit series. “In our first session, we discussed everything from WWII victory gardens to the benefits and challenges of self-driving car technology,” Wile said. She aims to create a customized group experience by incorporating participant’s interests into the sessions. “Our participants have had a multitude of unique experiences throughout their lives, which gives us an amazing opportunity to share and learn from one another while participating in cognitively stimulating activities.”

Just like the body, the brain experiences changes in structure and function as a result of aging. While this is typical for everyone, there are positive lifestyle changes you can make to keep your mind sharper for longer. The Mind Fit Series, based on Home Care Assistance’s Cognitive Therapeutics Method, draws upon existing research on enhancing mental acuity throughout the lifespan and introduces activities in a fun and engaging group format.
