Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) causes a slight but noticeable and measurable decline in cognitive abilities which includes memory and thinking skills. Individuals with MCI are at an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's or another dementia. MCI does not impact an individual’s independence. However, a person may experience forgetfulness of appointments, events,

conversations and details of various activities.

Thinking skills may be affected in individuals with

MCI or age related memory loss.

Their ability to make sound decisions, judge the time

or sequence of steps needed to complete a complex

task, or visual perception skills maybe slower than it

was in the pass. In the individuals that participate in

the Memory Training Program at our facility we find

the following skills to primary areas of concern:

Difficulty focusing attention.

Word finding difficulties.

Written comprehension and recall of information.

Difficulty judging the time or steps need to complete computer task and written task.

Recall of information presented to them verbally in a work, school or social environment.

Help for Age-Related Memory Loss and Mild Cognitive Impairment

View our Memory Training Session.

There is no medication for MCI or age related memory loss. However early intervention is key. With individually tailored performance enhancement and memory training, overall memory skills can be improved.

Mental activity, brain plasticity, and cognitive reserve are the foundation tools of our program. Neural plasticity serves as a key medium for the effects of practicing a physical activity – i.e. getting better at a physical task over time. During the training program you will be introduced to novel cognitive stimuli which encourage the brain to establish new neural networks through synaptogenesis and increase improvements on daily communication and memory tasks.
