A study conducted by the Women’s Health Aging Project in Australia “found that post-menopausal women who spend time taking care of grandkids lower their risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other cognitive disorders.” There’s no doubt that children help keep our minds sharp, this study proves it!
Alzheimer’s can be a tough disease to fight, but with the right treatment and surroundings, it can make things a little bit easier. At Hillside Terrace, we’re confident in our ability to provide the best quality of care, the security, and the family atmosphere that you’re seeking!
According to Gerber Life, grandchildren can help their grandparents in a number of other remarkable ways, including:
1. Sharing passions
2. Nurturing sense of purpose
3. Creating generational continuity and identity
4. Enjoying a new vantage point
