Episode 10: Boosting Brains and Bodies At The Brown Center

In the first of a new series on little-known resources, we chat with Sharilyn Rowe of The Brown Center - an adult day care for seniors with dementia. We explore effective strategies for engaging participants through various activities and cognitive stimulation techniques. The discussion emphasizes the importance of helping seniors keep their bodies and minds active, even in decline, and Sharilyn gives us some tips on how we can apply these techniques in the home setting.
