ALIVE with
ACTIVITY
What does it mean to thrive in your golden years? Can you do it alone? The Rush Alzheimer’s Disease Center in Chicago completed a study showing that seniors with high levels of social activity have about half the rate of cognitive decline as those with low levels of social activity. The prescription? Physical exercise, coupled with deep social connections and a commitment to taking care of one another. Berkshire promotes an active, engaged environment where residents can age not just gracefully, but with vitality.
