It Matters to Your Residents

Dakim BrainFitness Professional addresses the greatest concern of your residents, your prospects, and their families — loss of cognitive function:

As a result of unprecedented media coverage over the past few years, residents, prospects, and their families are acutely aware of both sides of the brain health issue — the threat of Alzheimer's, and the evidence that brain fitness activities can improve cognitive function and protect the brain from long-term decline.

The Clinically Proven Solution

The Proven Solution

Dakim BrainFitness Professional has been clinically proven to significantly improve cognitive performance in the two most important areas — memory and language abilities.

Designed for senior living, Dakim BrainFitness Professional has been clinically proven to significantly improve memory (immediate and delayed) and language abilities, the two aspects of cognitive function that (1) have the greatest impact on quality of life; (2) are the most noticeable to individuals, and; (3) are of the greatest concern to people over age 50—memory (immediate and delayed) and language abilities.

These gains were achieved as users strengthened attention, focus, and concentration.

And more than two decades of medical research has concluded that long-term participation in rigorous cognitive stimulation, where multiple domains of the brain are exercised routinely — creating what brain researchers call a cognitive reserve (a reserve of neural connections) — is associated with as much as a 63% reduced risk for dementia!

Good For Your Business

Good For Business

You know that anytime you offer a service that effectively enhances the wellness and quality of life of your residents, you're doing the right thing.

But don't overlook the important bottom-line business benefits that such programs can create. Healthier, higher-functioning residents infuse the entire community with their vitality, they require less care, and most importantly, they live longer! And very likely, they and their grateful loved ones will spread the word about the wellness programs offered by your community.

To keep census high in today's tough economic climate, you're having to compete harder than ever for every new resident. Relying on costly financial move-in incentives to persuade prospects and their families to choose your community is an expensive way to go.

But the census-building game — and the reasons why prospects and their families choose a senior living community — is changing. Increasingly, substantive programs that help residents enhance and maintain wellness and quality of life are becoming the most important criteria (after cost and location) in choosing one senior living community over another.

Offering a clinically proven brain fitness program, such as Dakim BrainFitness Professional — as part of an overall wellness program — can be an important differentiator for your community, providing a meaningful incentive to prospects and their families to choose your community as their new home.

While this is not likely to entirely eliminate the need for all financial move-in incentives, marketed properly (emphasizing the significant potential impact on long-term wellness and quality of life), substantive wellness programs can provide a cost-effective tool with which to influence a prospect's (and their loved one's) decision and reduce the overall cost of building and maintaining census.

Dakim BrainFitness has always been truly affordable — only $3,500 a year. That works out to less than ten cents a day, per resident, for an average community (100 residents)! And for communities with less than fifty beds, the cost is just $35 per bed, per year.

But until now, if you wanted to offer clinically proven Dakim BrainFitness to your residents, you could only do it on Dakim's proprietary Touchscreen computer appliance.

But now it's even more economical. You no longer need to purchase a separate Dakim Touchscreen, because Dakim BrainFitness now runs on PCs, Macs, and iPads — yours and your residents'.

Let’s do the math: Each new resident, on average, brings in $4,000 per month to the community, or roughly $50,000 per year. The cost of Dakim BrainFitness Professional is about $35 per year, per resident. If actively marketing a dedicated brain health program brings in just one new resident (or enables the community to close the deal with fewer financial incentives), the return on investment is huge.
