## Resource

Sue Paul, an occupational therapist with more than 35 years of experience, joins AgingIN CEO Susan Ryan to share her journey reimagining dementia care through the lens of brain health. Reflecting on a time when Alzheimer's care was often institutional and limiting, Sue , who is senior director of well being and brain health for Asbury Communities, developed a more proactive, person-centered framework focused on prevention, dignity, and understanding the trajectory of cognitive change. Her work has evolved into a strong emphasis on lifestyle-based interventions—movement, cognitive engagement, stress management, and social connection—as powerful tools to support and even improve brain health. At Asbury, Sue brought this philosophy to life through the Rosboro ugh Wellness and Brain Health Center, an innovative space featuring everything from a rock - climbing wall to a boxing studio and tech lab, all designed to make brain health visible, engaging, and stigma-free for more than 380 residents. Central to her approach is the Ki nnections program with compelling results showing that 90 percent of participants maintaining or improving cognitive function and half of those with mild cognitive impairment returning to normal cognition. Sue is also leading a shift in language and mindset, encouraging providers to move away from "memory care" toward a more holistic concept of "neuro health." Beyond campus walls, Sue is expanding her impact through SeniorScapes , a dementia-friendly park model in Frederick, M d. , designed to promote outdoor activity, cognitive engagement, and social connection.
