New Technology Helps Seniors With Alzheimer's and Other Forms of Dementia

Arbors Memory Care Community in Sparks, Nev., is using new technology to help seniors with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, reports KOLOTV . The It's Never 2 Late (IN2L) program offers cognitive stimulation as well as wellness programs for residents. "It can be individualized so that if Jane was from Oklahoma, we can take them all the way to Oklahoma," says Arbors' Viki Lowrey. "Or if Jeff likes to play certain games, it makes it very individualized." Arbors intern Jennifer Marshall notes customization and individualized care can help improve memory. She says, "It's really cool. It sparks their memory, and we go off on that with more meaningful interaction."
