Via Cognitive Health to open new building in Augusta
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Via Cognitive Health says it is opening a new building next month to help people with Alzheimer’s and Dementia.
This will allow them to be physically active with things like a walking track, gym area and putting green.
They also will add an art room, spa and salon, a workshop tool shed area and more.
Officials with Via Cognitive Health say most people live with dementia for about 10 years once they have been diagnosed. They also say they want to help people with the activities they provide.
“We want those 10 years to be the best 10 years that you can have. The research kind of points to that if we can keep very cognitively active and physically active, that’s going to help us through the progression better tolerate the symptoms,” said Executive Director Jennifer Pennington.
There will be a ribbon cutting on June 20 for the new building.
