It is important to routinely do specific cognitive exercises, especially, working memory exercises to improve and maintain brain health. Check out The BCAT® Working Memory Exercise Book – Home Edition to improve cognitive, mood, and/or rehabilitation functioning.
For patients living with dementia, activities that increase meaningful engagement are recommended to lower agitation and psychiatric medication use, support memory skills, and improve mood functioning. The MemPics® Book Series is an evidence-based program that accomplishes these goals.
