Our brains, just like our bodies need exercise!
‘Neurobics' is a type of exercise designed to stimulate the brain and enhance cognitive performance. Research indicates that people who pursue intellectual challenges live longer and maintain a sharper mind.
Intellectual activities can include reading, solving riddles and puzzles, playing chess, debating and learning a new language.
So, don't let routine take over the lives of your clients! Offer activities that require some conscious effort to stimulate cell growth.
Here are some ideas to be incorporated into your Activities Program.

Yesterday we sat on the porch and did Golden Carers Activities. We learned we laughed we watched the chipmunks run by. Thank you
Thank you, Sharon. They look happy and relaxed; we appreciate the photo-sharing.
What a lovely photo Sharon
Thanks for sharing it
I work part time on a voluntary basis in a wonderful Day Centre for the elderly. I find Golden Carers is a fantastic resource for new ideas & activities. I particularly liked the article on Neurobics & the related activities, i’m so looking forward to trying them out!
Many thanks. Helena
Thank you so much for your feedback Helena, we appreciate it so much!
Great ideas...definitely going to incorporate neurobics from brand new year 2017. Merry Christmas and happy new year to Golden carers and all members around the world.
Thank you Nita, a very Merry Christmas to you too!
Elevate the idea of the herb garden make a pizza garden, planting basil and oregano, and use them to enhance a homemade pizza sauce. If a small container garden is possible, the tomatoes and peppers can also be used.
Love this idea Shelley, thanks for your input!
Golden Carers, amazing!!! Not only providing brilliant activities for the elderly, but also stretching the brains of the carers themselves! Brilliant!
Thank you so much Liz! Your feedback is very much appreciated!
