Cognitive & Emotional
Health

Older adults who frequently feel lonely and those with chronic sleep problems have a 31-40% higher risk of developing dementia compared to those who don’t have these issues. We believe that aging can be a time of connection, happiness, and mental clarity.

​

We want to nurture:

  • Restful sleep

  • Community and belonging

  • Sense of purpose

  • Emotional resilience

 

STEPS:

​

  1. Read our Sleep Hygiene, Emotional Health, and Cognitive Health blogs

  2. Choose a daily goal for sleeping better.

  3. Choose a daily goal for your emotional & cognitive health.
