In this episode of 'Let's Talk Brain Health,' Robert 'Rob'
Liebreich, President and CEO of Goodwin Living, discusses the Stronger Memory program, an initiative focused on enhancing brain health in senior living communities. Rob shares personal stories that fueled his passion for memory care, including his experience with his mother.
Â
The Stronger Memory program consists of three key
activities: reading aloud, handwriting, and tackling simple math problems, all designed to engage the prefrontal cortex and mitigate cognitive decline.
Â
Initially inspired by methods used in Japan, the program has
shown significant positive outcomes, including delayed onset and improvement in dementia-related symptoms. Rob highlights the program’s accessibility, its implementation in various settings, and the importance of movement and social
interaction for brain health.
Â
The program is available for free and has been successfully
rolled out across the United States, showing promising results in improving cognitive function and quality of life for seniors.
