Our Enrichment Programs

---

We enhance quality of life by providing unique and stimulating social experiences for clients with cognitive conditions.

Cognitive Retreats, our flagship Cognitive Enrichment Program, are month-long (4 week) virtual events that provide our clients and care partners with an opportunity to connect with experts and network with others who have similar conditions. Our Cognitive Ambassadors curate enriching experiences that simultaneously provide new tools and strategies to address specific cognitive conditions, leaving our clients feeling revitalized and better prepared to live life more fully and independently.

How We Enhance Quality of Life For Our Clients and Their Families

We create functional and stimulating new experiences Each month-long (4 week) retreat showcases a destination (i.e., Boston) or topic (i.e., Ornithology) through curated summaries of history, culture, nature and food. New and different aspects of the destination or topic are brought to life each week through text, images and video on our easy to follow retreat webpage. Each week’s content will have 5 categories of engagement: a guided video from one of our Cognitive Ambassadors, a guided online excursion or immersion, multiple cognitive enrichment exercises, supplemental cognitive activities and a weekly video conference social group. Our Cognitive Ambassadors tailor the content to make it functional and stimulating for those with different cognitive conditions. The content is rich and deep, yet easy to digest, ensuring you have plenty to keep you engaged over the full four weeks.

We foster new relationships through our curated social network Each week, we get together in-person for a 90 minute live video conference social group with participants and care partners who share similar cognitive conditions so you can meet new people and share your stories along the retreat journey.  We host separate groups for Aphasia/Communication (PPA, Stroke, TBI), Memory (MCI, Alzheimer’s) and Movement (Parkinson’s), allowing you to interact with individuals across the country who are experiencing similar challenges. For each weekly 90 minute social group, the first 15 minutes is focused on facilitating casual conversation among the group participants, the next 45 minutes is focused on a whole group discussion of the retreat content from that week and the last 30 minutes is focused on care partner support.

We enhance your cognitive toolbox Each week of the retreat includes multiple Cognitive Enrichment exercises that come along with strategy based cognitive handouts that supplement the retreat content. Enrichment exercises are aimed to target both memory and communication challenges. The cognitive handouts are an important supplement to reinforce the cognitive strategies that we integrate into the Retreat. Your retreat purchase includes unlimited downloads of all cognitive handouts for one year so you can continue to refer back to these tools well after you have completed the 4 week retreat.

We provide care partner / caregiver support The Retreat content is designed to be engaging for both individuals with cognitive conditions and care partners. The retreat content is also designed as an engaging activity for private duty caregivers to complete with their clients. The Cognitive Enrichment exercises are for individuals with cognitive conditions. Some individuals may be able to complete retreat content and enrichment independently or with set up from a care partner. Some individuals may need to complete retreat content as a team with their care partners.

We enable you to go at your own pace All retreat content is accessible 24/7 on an easy to follow webpage. Outside of the weekly video conference social group, the retreat content is intended to be primarily self-guided and self-directed (you can experience the content at your own leisure). The sample retreat itinerary below illustrates how we organize your experience.

Note: A desktop, tablet or mobile device with internet connectivity that has a speaker, microphone and camera are required to fully utilize the retreat content.
