Selkirk Age Friendly Memory & Aging Program

While some degree of memory change is a normal part of aging, research shows there are effective strategies and skills you can use to help you remember the things that are important to you. Does this sound familiar?

  • Did I turn off the stove?
  • Where did I put my glasses?
  • What was I about to do?
  • When is his birthday?
  • What was it that they told me the other day?

Boost Your Memory with Proven Strategies

Memory and aging are closely related, and as people age, they often experience changes in their memory. While some degree of memory change is normal, research shows there are effective strategies and skills you can use to help you remember the things that are important to you.
