Program helps with Alzheimers

MONROE - A new program, Language Enriched Exercise Plus Socialization (LEEPS), is starting that will provide people with Alzheimer's disease or memory loss issues the opportunity for regular exercise and to become more active in their community.

To be eligible to participate in LEEPS, you must have memory loss issues, live with your caregiver, be able to engage in exercise, and reside in Crawford, Grant, Green, Iowa, Juneau, Lafayette, Richland, Rock or Sauk counties. The program will use trained volunteers to assist with exercises, provide cognitive stimulation and regular outings. The program offers an opportunity for the person's caregiver to rest and refresh or to complete tasks while the person is engaged with the volunteer. If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about the program, or would be interested in becoming a program volunteer, please contact the Aging and Disability Resource Center of Southwest Wisconsin at 877-794-2372 or your local Aging and Disability Resource Center.
