Take a month to celebrate brain health by Terry Fay

How could we show older adult residents and staff that brain health activities are all around us, every day? The answer was a Cerebral Celebration! In March, residents of 33 Senior Lifestyle Corporation communities experienced a month-long celebration of brain health awareness, learning and participation.

Cerebral Celebration took place over a month because there were too many ideas and exercises or experiences to include in a shorter amount of time. We did not want the pace to feel frantic. For the program to be appropriately challenging, 31 days would be the right window.
