The Buckingham offers engaging learning options for residents

-

For senior adults, mental and intellectu­al wellness are just as important as staying active and eating well.

Research has shown that lifelong learning contribute­s to reducing forms of dementia, stimulatin­g neuron connection to the brain, and lowering stress levels.

Exploring different ideas, exposure to new places, enrolling in an educationa­l course or even taking on a new hobby can help improve overall health.

At The Buckingham, lifelong learning is a key pillar in the community’s unique Aspyre program. Residents have access to 40 clubs, group outings and can continue to learn through a partnershi­p with Rice University.

Recently, residents learned all about the film industry when award-winning film critic Gary Cogill shared his insights on film’s most well-known bad boys.

At the Bad Boys of Film event, residents had a front row seat to Cogill’s stories about the industry while enjoying wines and hors d’oeuvres selected by Cogill’s wife, a certified sommelier and Spanish wine scholar.

No matter what your hobbies or interests are, The Buckingham has something for everyone.
