Playing BINGO is Therapeutic

By March 28, 2016 No Comments

BINGO is often related to seniors and
played in our local senior centers. 

Wonder why?
A study in the American Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease found that playing Bingo provides mental stimulation that is highly therapeutic to people with cognitive disorders.

It can increase;

  • alertness
  • awareness
  • memory function
  • thought process

 

and other cognitive abilities…even hours after playing.

So, if your elderly parent, grand-parent, neighbor or friend asks you to play BINGO, you can do it happily knowing that you are providing a form of therapy!
