Memory Kits Available to Support Cognitive Wellness
Memory Kits, a new resource designed to support cognitive health among older adults and individuals experiencing cognitive decline, are now available at St. Mary’s County libraries and senior centers.
These specially curated kits may be borrowed at no cost from the Garvey, Loffler, and Northern senior centers, and the four branches of the library in Charlotte Hall, Leonardtown, Lexington Park, and the mobile library).
Each Memory Kit contains a variety of materials, including books, games, puzzles, and hands-on activities designed to stimulate memory, mental agility, and overall cognitive function. The kits are organized by themes, allowing participants to choose topics that best match their interests or cognitive needs. Each kit also includes a copy of the Resource Guide for Older Adults, which offers information on local services and support networks.
“With adults aged 65 and older representing the fastest-growing population in St. Mary’s County, the need for memory support and cognitive wellness resources continues to expand,” said Lori Jennings-Harris, director of the St. Mary’s County Department of Aging & Human Services. “The Memory Kits offer meaningful ways for individuals and families to support brain health at every stage of aging. We are deeply grateful to St. Mary’s County Library for their ongoing and outstanding partnership in supporting the needs of older adults and enhancing quality of life throughout our community.”
