Fit Minds at Bon Jour Social and Leisure Center!
Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with dementia?
Looking for a brain-boosting gym?
The Fit Minds program, exclusively offered at Bon Jour Social and Leisure Center, is a research-backed cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) initiative designed to enhance brain health, cognitive resilience, and quality of life for seniors, regardless of whether they have a dementia diagnosis.
Fit Minds targets five core cognitive domains—language and music, visual-spatial orientation, memory, critical thinking, and computation—through engaging, novel activities delivered in small-group sessions. Grounded in brain plasticity principles, Fit Minds uses non-pharmacological methods to promote new neural pathways and delay cognitive decline. Each session includes:
-
✅ Computation exercises to spark problem-solving skills
-
✅ Language discussions to enhance communication and memory
-
✅ Hands-on spatial relations activities to boost reasoning and perception
📅 Fit Minds Sessions:
Monday – Friday
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
When your loved one joins Bon Jour Social and Leisure Center, they’ll benefit from the Fit Minds Cognitive Stimulating Therapy as well as the activities and events that are included in their membership.
