What is Brain Health?
Brain health is how well a person’s brain functions across different areas, including mental health, physical function, social function, role limitations, cognitive impairments, body pain, and overall vitality.
Our therapists are Certified BCAT Master clinicians in brain health.
Brain Health can be affected by many factors including age, injuries, lifestyle, diseases, and mood disorders.
Impaired brain health affects a person’s ability to go to work, manage their finances, participate in social events, and even live independently. Improving one’s brain health is vital in living a long, fulfilling life.
We will collaborate with you, your caregiver/family, and your physician to treat and broaden your understanding of your overall mental health and how it affects your cognition. Our team will work together to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that focuses on your cognitive and emotional well-being. Our goal is to help you thrive at home and in the community.
Our speech and occupational therapists will develop a plan that helps you maintain independence in complex everyday tasks like cooking, shopping, and managing household responsibilities.
When people are aware and empowered to live brain-healthy lifestyles, they not only promote healthy aging but can also increase their emotional and physical well-being.
