The MIND Diet, which stands for Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay, combines the Mediterranean and DASH diets to support brain health. It focuses on plant-based foods like leafy greens, berries, whole grains, nuts, fish, and olive oil while limiting foods linked to cognitive decline. In memory care, this diet offers many benefits. Here are five key ones we emphasize:

🥦 Slowing cognitive decline with nutrient-rich foods
🥦 Promoting brain health through antioxidants and omega-3s
🥦 Reducing inflammation and supporting heart health
🥦 Enhancing emotional well-being and mood stability
🥦 Supporting independence and a sense of purpose

FAQ ❓ Can someone diagnosed with early onset dementia move into a senior living community?

Yes. While early onset dementia can affect younger adults, senior living communities are designed specifically for adults aged 55 and older. These memory care communities offer nurturing environments that support older adults in the early stages of dementia. They encourage engagement, promote independence, and uphold dignity as care needs evolve.

💙 Getting lost even in familiar places
💙 Having trouble with everyday personal care tasks
