Activities for Seniors in Marlton, NJ
As we age, spending extended time alone can lead to isolation, which has many negative effects on mental and physical health. This is particularly true for people with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, who may become withdrawn socially due to their own changing habits or a well-intentioned caregiver trying to spare them distress. However, social interaction is one of the most valuable ways to support older people’s cognitive health.
At Town Square Marlton, we offer seniors in the Burlington County area and their families not only the top choice in local adult day enrichment programming, focusing on reminiscence, mental, physical, and social health, and vintage fun, but also access to many other resources and the assistance of our memory care-trained team. Contact us today to schedule a tour or learn more, or read further to find out about the varied activities we offer.
