If you’re caring for someone with dementia, it can be a challenge for you both to stay active.

Exercise may also slow mental decline and improve self-cares ability. This new exercise class for those with cognitive impairment and their caregiver, focuses on strength building, flexibility and endurance. Exercises can be done from a chair or standing and can be modified for all abilities. Please call Jen to register at (507) 386-5588.
