Easy Crossword for Older Adults
Here are some thoughts on the benefits of doing crosswords for older adults with dementia from Estia Health.
“Brain games and puzzles provide an older person the opportunity to use their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Jigsaw puzzles for eg, exercise the left and right sides of your brain at once. Your left brain is logical and works in a linear fashion, while your right brain is creative and intuitive. When you're doing a jigsaw puzzle, both sides are engaged, according to Sanesco Health, an industry leader in neurotransmitter testing.
Word searches and crossword puzzles are excellent for seniors as they engage the eyes and the mind. Crosswords, in particular, call for recalling facts, which helps enhance concentration ability and memory function.”
