Brain Booster Club
In a group setting, participants challenge their brains with intellectually stimulating brain exercises aimed at improving memory retention, focus and recall.
Dakim Computer Software -- A recipient of multiple awards, the Dakim BrainFitness Software is the only clinically tested brain fitness program created for people over 60 years of age. The touch screen software integrates nearly 100 different game formats -- and thousands of scientifically based exercises -- into a comprehensive program. Each exercise plays a specific role in stimulating five cognitive domains (improving memory, building a protective cognitive reserve, heightening attention, enhancing focus, and strengthening concentration). Dakim self adjusts the level of challenge based on the individual’s ability.
The computers in our brain fitness center are available Monday - Friday from 9:00 am to 4:45 pm.
