VINE’s Mind Academy is a series of programs for those who want to be proactive about their brain health, at whatever stage they may find themselves. We offer something for people who have no memory loss, for those who may be concerned about their memory, and for those with a dementia diagnosis.
Mind Aerobics programs are designed to provide older adults with comprehensive mental workouts that maintain or improve cognitive functioning. These programs are developed to systematically stimulate six major cognitive domains of the brain, instead of focusing on only one or two cognitive skill areas like many other programs.
Mind Sharpener: Normal to forgetful levelÂ
This program targets those who, although they may have subjective complaints of memory deficit or occasional difficulty with word-finding, have no objective deficits.
Mind Works: Mild to moderate cognitive decline
Problems with memory, concentration, wordÂfinding, planning, and handling finances may have been noted. Other individuals in their environments have noticed changes.
