Dementia Care at Home in Marina Del Rey

According to "Mental Reserves Keep Brains Agile", an article by Jane E. Brody published in the New York Times, new studies have shown that keeping mentally and physically "fit" will decrease your chances of developing Alzheimer's disease or other types of Dementia.

If you keep learning new things, participating in stimulating social activities and perform moderate exercise your brain builds up new connections and neurons that limit cognitive damage.  Senior and elderly people who play card / board games, learn languages and work with computers keep their memory and reasoning skills sharp even as they slow down physically.

Autopsies performed on mentally sound elderly women have found brain damage showing Alzheimer pathology although there were no symptoms of the disease before their deaths.  These findings add credence to the resiliency of the human brain to rewire itself and build cognitive reserves.

It's never too late to begin building your mental reserves and improving your physical health.  If you are a senior or elderly person living in Marina Del Rey, Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica, Culver City, Beverly Hills, Hollywood or other West Los Angeles city, A-1 Home Care can provide a Companion, Home Helper, Caregiver or Home Health Aide at a reasonable rate.  Our hourly or live in Caregiver will assist you with housecleaning, laundry, mental stimulation, planning and preparing nutritious meals, companionship, moderate exercise, shopping and transportation.
