Spe­cial Report: Brain Fit­ness Cen­ters in Senior Hous­ing — A Field in the Making

– Pub­lished on Sep­tem­ber 8th, 2008, by the Amer­i­can Seniors Hous­ing Asso­ci­a­tion (ASHA)

This 15-page Spe­cial Report, pre­pared by Sharp­Brains, describes the grow­ing use of com­put­er­ized brain fit­ness tools offered to seniors hous­ing res­i­dents as part of com­pre­hen­sive well­ness ini­tia­tives. It pro­vides an overview of the brain fit­ness field with four case stud­ies that shed light on the use of brain fit­ness cen­ters in seniors hous­ing com­mu­ni­ties, includ­ing those oper­ated by Senior Star Liv­ing of Tulsa, OK, Bel­mont Vil­lage Senior Liv­ing of Hous­ton, TX, and Erick­son Retire­ment Com­mu­ni­ties of Catonsville, MD.

In releas­ing this Spe­cial Issue Brief, David Sch­less, ASHA’s Pres­i­dent, noted “This report truly under­scores how cutting-edge tech­nol­ogy and sci­ence are being used to enhance the lives of seniors. It is par­tic­u­larly excit­ing to con­tem­plate the enor­mous poten­tial impact that com­put­er­ized cog­ni­tive assess­ments and train­ing can have for seniors hous­ing residents.”

Accord­ing to the author, Alvaro Fer­nan­dez, “This is the very first pub­li­ca­tion in the field of brain fit­ness to address spe­cific con­sid­er­a­tions related to seniors hous­ing, expand­ing on our gen­eral mar­ket report released ear­lier this year. It is very con­ceiv­able that the early and enthu­si­as­tic adop­tion of cog­ni­tive fit­ness, sup­ported by the solid mea­sure­ment of out­comes reported in the Brief, will help to trans­form the way in which the gen­eral pop­u­la­tion per­ceives seniors housing.”
