For seniors in New Holstein, WI, mental fitness is essential for enjoying retirement life in Wisconsin. Here are some of the key features that LakeHouse New Holstein provides to support habits for cognitive improvement.
Streamlined Floor Plans Support Independent Learning

Each floor plan is designed to maximize ease of movement for residents and promote independence, which helps seniors maintain cognitive abilities. Seniors also have plenty of room to accommodate staff members who help with everyday tasks in assisted living.

Help With Everyday Tasks to Maintain Routines

Frequently Asked Questions
What Causes Cognitive Decline in Seniors?
Cognitive decline is inevitable with age, but the degree to which it occurs varies widely depending on lifestyle and health conditions, among other factors. As you get older, it takes more work to maintain the same level of cognitive wellness, which is why senior memory habits are so important.
Dementia is the most common cause of cognitive decline in seniors. Although many do not receive a diagnosis until later in life, some of the signs begin to appear earlier than you may think, even in your late forties or early fifties.
If you suspect that you have dementia, here are some key symptoms to watch for:
- Confusing locations and times
- Poor judgment
- Personality changes
- Consistently missing items
- Losing familiarity with routines
Is Cognitive Decline Reversible?
Sometimes. Often, with dementia, cognitive decline is irreversible, but it can be slowed down with brain exercises or certain medications. However, mild cognitive decline can absolutely be reversed with the right regimen.
If there is a definitive health condition causing cognitive decline, a change in habits is often the solution. For instance, if you suffer from sleep deprivation that leads to cognitive changes, ensuring you get proper shut-eye should remedy the issue on its own.
At What Age Should I Begin to Exercise My Brain?
It is never too early to exercise your brain. The earlier you begin, the better. When you establish consistent routines to ensure cognitive wellness, you won't have to work as hard in the future to maintain the same level of sharpness.
Small habits in your daily life can add up to consistent support. Pick up a crossword puzzle rather than your cell phone the next time you are tempted to scroll through social media. Crack open a book you've been wanting to read instead of turning on the television.
