On October 7th, Memory Matters piloted its first 4 week program to senior participants in Ottawa and received rave reviews. The program was offered on Thursday afternoons from 1-3 at a lovely retirement residence in Ottawa.
Feedback from participants included:
“This program is good for everyone as it is both educational and social”.
“I really enjoyed attending the program with my wife and enjoyed meeting the other participants – well done!”
“The BASIC program puts into practice all the things that we know are good for us but sometimes fail to do on our own”.
“Excellent presentations – great information and food for thought – when is the next workshop?”
The Memory Matters’ BASIC (Brain Agility and Social Interaction Club) was designed to bring seniors together who were interested in learning how to promote brain health, maximize memory and enhance quality of life through the years. Each week the group met to go through a structured program which included a physical warm up, an educational presentation, social break and then interactive activities that got the whole group working together. Participants included couples, friends and singles that varied in age from 60’s to 80’s. Due to the overwhelming success Memory Matters will be offering more BASIC workshops in the New Year. For more information or to reserve your spot… please call (613) 720-4655 (space is limited).
