Promoting quality of life and wellness of body, mind and spirit is at the core of our mission at OPRS. Because dementia represents the greatest threat to the quality of life of seniors—half the population over age 85 has Alzheimer’s—we believe helping our residents maintain their brain health is at the top of the list. More than twenty years of medical research has concluded that seniors who participate in rigorous cognitive stimulation, consistently and over the long-term have as much as a 60% reduced risk of dementia.

Armed with this knowledge and our commitment to seek innovations in healthcare and technology, we set out as a company to find a way to provide our residents with a dedicated brain fitness program. Our search led us to Dakim BrainFitness, which delivers rigorous brain fitness exercises in the form of truly fun brain games.

The response of our residents has been overwhelmingly positive—they find it easy and fun, but still challenging, which means they will return to it often to build their cognitive reserve.

These are some of the features that make Dakim BrainFitness so effective at Ohio Presbyterian Retirement Services:

Designed just for seniors. Dakim BrainFitness has been created just for seniors—the brain games relate to the eras and decades that interest seniors most. Dakim’s brain games are challenging, richly—produced and truly compelling. Many users say that playing Dakim BrainFitness is one of the high points of their day.

Anyone can do it. Dakim BrainFitness is easy to use—even for seniors who have never used a computer. Dakim BrainFitness uses a touch screen computer, so there is no mouse or keyboard.

Cross-trains the brain. Dakim BrainFitness cross trains the brain in every session—exercising all six cognitive domains.

Optimal challenge levels. To make sure users are always at the optimal level of challenge—challenging and stimulating but at the same time, comfortable—Dakim BrainFitness self—adjusts the level of challenge, across five levels, in real time, as users play.

Play new games every session. Because Dakim downloads new brain games (via the internet) almost every day users play NEW brain games in every session.
