served in a dainty cup.

Meet two canine companions
In addition to regular pet visits, several
Touchmark residents have dogs. For example,
Donna Miskovich and her canine friend Max
live at Touchmark. They love greeting people
and thrive on the activity. “I like that Max is
small enough to sit on my lap,” says Donna of
the Chihuahua-Yorkie mix who is an energetic
21 months old.
Beth Berg’s Pomeranian/Lhasa Apso mix—
Finn McCoy—is 2 years old. “Finn is a
wonderful companion” says Beth, “although
he does have a bit of ‘Big Dog Syndrome!’”

3. CAPTURING DELIGHT{FULL} MOMENTS
Research on cognition and memory is finding that people
who participate in more mentally stimulating activities
have a slower rate of decline in memory (Wilson, et al,
2013, Journal of Neurology). Apps and websites like
Fit Brains, Lumosity, Tetris, Sudoku2 all work on your
computer, tablet device, or smart phone. Touchmark
recently conducted a webinar with team members
that covered cutting-edge ideas for activities and cognitive stimulation. We now are working to develop
programming throughout Touchmark communities that takes advantage of this technology for enhancing
memory.
If you own or intend to purchase a computer, tablet, or smart phone and would like to participate in learning
how to use it, please let us know. Also, if you have a favorite website or app that helps build the brain, please
send an email to FullLife@Touchmark.com. Let’s learn together what can benefit all of us as we exercise our
brains and boost memory.
Do you have a computer, iPad, or smart phone?

Executive Vice President
The Touchmark Easter Egg Hunt helped raise money for the Angel Fund, which assists school children
with needed classroom supplies and clothing. Touchmark donated $650 to the nonprofit. For the event,
residents prepared more than 6,000 Easter eggs filled with various prizes for children to find throughout
the Touchmark property. The families attending also received a lunch, and many contributed to the Angel
Fund. Touchmark on Saddle Drive and Mountain West Bank cosponsored the annual Easter Egg Hunt and
lunch.
