June 17, 2016 // Franchising.com // Palm Desert, CA – Home Care Assistance Palm Desert, a leading provider of in-home care for seniors, is excited to announce that it will be hosting a fun and informative six-part series in partnership with Jewish Family Service of the Desert (JFS) and the Joslyn Center. Led by Home Care Assistance’s brain fitness experts and Cognitive Therapeutics Interventionists Joyce White and Janetta Rhoades, The Mind Fit Series:

Activities to Boost Brain Health will cover proactive ways to enhance cognitive functioning, including activities used in the Cognitive Therapeutics Method™, a science-based cognitive stimulation program. The series will kick-off on Tuesday, May 21st with subsequent sessions on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm through Tuesday, September 6th.  This event is open to members of the JFS/Joslyn Center Let’s Do Lunch group and is free of charge.  Registration for the Let’s Do Lunch program is free; interested seniors should contact Kraig Johnson at 760-325-4088 ext. 101 for a brief intake.

“We are really looking forward to conducting the Mind Fit Series at the Joslyn Center in Palm Desert” said Nikhil Mehta, Chief Executive Officer at Home Care Assistance. “Feedback from series attendees in other facilities 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.”

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.

“This program represents an opportunity to provide programming for our local seniors that improves cognitive function in a fun, interactive setting.  JFS wishes to thank Home Care Assistance Palm Desert and the Joslyn Center for making these events possible.”  Kraig Johnson, JFS Community Programs Coordinator.
