In recognition of Active Aging Week, we’re revisiting an insightful conversation with host Dawn Platt and National Director of Resident Engagement, Tamara Bowen. Together, they challenge the myth that fitness and movement are out of reach for older adults, especially those living with dementia. Discover why simple everyday activities like walking, gardening, washing dishes, and folding laundry can support brain health, independence, and overall well-being, and why you don’t need to run a marathon to see meaningful results. Through practical tips, inspiring stories, and expert insights, Dawn and Tamara reveal how movement can reduce cognitive decline, promote social connection, and bring greater purpose to each day. Small steps, big results. It’s never too late to start.
