REGISTER NOW

The YMCA of Greater Houston offers a variety of opportunities for adults ages 55 and better to stay active, engaged and connected with others. From physical activity to social events and new adventures, ForeverWell provides opportunities for ALL to make this chapter in life the BEST one yet!

Physical Benefits

Adults 55 and older are at a higher risk for falls. Regular physical activity is proven to improve strength and flexibility which leads to improved balance and coordination.

Mental Health Benefits

Participating in regular physical activity can also lead to improved mental health and cognitive function.

Social Benefits

Maintaining strong social connections is important for older adults. Our group exercise classes and social and learning opportunities provide a great opportunity to meet new friends and to build connections.

LIVING WELL

How Do We Remember and Why Do We Forget

Is your forgetfulness a normal part of aging or is it something more? Join Dr. Chaowen “Jason” Chen, memory disorders specialist, to learn about how our memory works, why we forget, which memory issues are a normal part of aging and when it might be something more. Dr. Chen will discuss when you should see a physician if you or your loved one begins to have cognitive changes and what is involved with cognitive testing.
