When COVID shut down my husband’s Alzheimer support group in Burnaby, Fred lost an important focus in his life, that of meeting with others going through similar changes in their mental health. We were therefore very happy to learn about the Adult Cognitive Wellness Centre in Langley in November (2020) and Fred has been attending the weekly morning sessions since then. Karen is a buoyant, caring Recreation Leader who easily engages participants. She guides them through whole body exercises and a large variety of activities for balance and coordination, mental games and quizzes, musical challenges and craft-making fun. Oh - and there is always a healthy snack. With a focus on the individual, Karen encourages suggestions from both the participants and their families. Fred looks forward to these sessions as they bring a fresh perspective from what I provide as his wife. And I can visit the Derby Reach Park on the Fraser River, the nearby library, or the extensive shopping area for my own respite. COVID-19 protocols are meticulously followed so we feel comfortable there. With thanks for your helpful services,
