"Since she started assisting my father,
we have noticed that he seems more animated and more alert – especially
in light of the fact that he has suffered from strokes in recent years.
She is a caring and compassionate person and we have truly enjoyed
working with her." Tom I.

Cognitive Stimulation Coaching
-
Our Cognitive Stimulation Coaching (CSC) stimulates the brain, keeping it
active and engaged, increases mental vitality and builds reserves of
mental pathways and connections.
The coaching sessions are:
"This type of treatment could possibly alter the
trajectory of Alzheimer's." M.W., Dr. Geriatrics and
Internal Medicine
Our experience with CSC indicates an improvement in both cognitive
function and quality of life for people with early to mid-stage Alzheimer's,
Age-related memory challenges and brain injuries due to stroke or trauma.
We've all heard the statement "Use it or lose it." This saying is
very appropriate for cognitive function. Similar to physical fitness,
studies have shown that a regular program of short mental exercises can help
to stimulate the brain and improve cognitive functions. Individuals
and families who participate in Cognitive Stimulation Coaching can experience:
-
Increased cognitive ability, including
memory and reasoning skills
-
Increased independence
-
Decreased depression and anti-social
behaviors
-
Enhanced awareness of their surroundings
-
Increased socialization and confidence
-
Increased attention
span
"Steve worked with me to develop a family history
like none I have ever seen - very comprehensive."
"From the very first, I was extremely encouraged
by my mother's response. Mom was more responsive and conversational
after her sessions than she had been for the past several years.
She actually began to speak in complete sentences." Sue B.

Community Education and Outreach Services
-
We offer several informative, timely and essential seminars to help
educate our communities on issues of concern to mature audiences and those
who are concerned about, or provide care for, adults in need. These
seminars help to battle the lack of information, fear and misunderstandings
that exist around dementia and adult care. We have found it all to common
for people in need to say, "If I'd have only known..."
-
...how easy it is to prevent falls.
-
...the importance of estate planning.
-
...the impact that nutrition can have on
our long-term health.
-
...how simple it is to detect and prevent
negative medication interaction.
-
...how to purchase long-term-care
insurance.
-
...the treatment options for dementia.
Our community education and outreach services battle the "If I'd have
only known," syndrome.
These seminars and panel discussions have been
developed in conjunction with specialists and recognized experts in: Senior
Law, Geriatric Mental Health, Insurance, Fitness, Nutrition, Medical
Management plus other essential areas, and when possible, those same
specialists and experts present the material and participate in our panel
discussions.
