Candace Stewart is now the Elder Guide for Open Hearts-Open Minds, a cognitive fitness program at Aspen Grove, located on the first floor of The Lodge Assisted Living and Memory Care in Carson City, Nevada.   The Aspen Grove Enrichment Center is a holistic environment for cognitive, physical, emotional and spiritual enrichment.  It includes an exercise room, spa tub, massage and aroma therapy room, reflections room, and a social/learning center.  Open Hearts-Open Minds is tailored to the needs and abilities of people who are experiencing mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and short term memory loss.  It is a pathway that is created for each individual member.   Residents continue to live in their Assisted Living residence, and enjoy ability-centered activities.  The program not only promotes mind and body fitness, it also enhances self-esteem and confidence, while creating an environment open to friendships and social interaction.   The program was designed by a Gerontologist, Validation workers, and Eden Alternative tm educators, grounded in research to enhance cognitive function, physical fitness, and overall well being.   Please visit www.thelodgealf.com for more information.
