Moving for Memory is a five week, twice a week program designed to support patients experiencing memory changes, including those with mild to moderate cognitive impairment. A cognitive screen is required for the referral of this program.
The program is facilitated by a Registered Nurse and Exercise Specialist. The program includes:
Physical Activity: a combination of walking for cardiovascular health, along with strength and balance activities.
Cognitive Engagement: topics include spatial awareness, patterning, visual cues, associations, priming, and using your senses
Brain Health Education: topics include five steps to brain health, goal setting, nutrition, social connection and socializing, relaxation techniques, coping, medications, and sleep.
Prior to starting the program, you will be assessed by our Registered Nurse and Exercise Specialist to review your medical history and available cognitive screens, and complete a baseline physical function assessment (walking test, a sit to stand, and balance test), assessing your suitability for this group.
