Memory-boosting techniques
Mental agility exercises
Guided relaxation
Stress-free classroom environments
Camaraderie, laughter, and mutual encouragement

What Doctors & Agencies Say About IMEP™:

“The IMEP program is a valuable resource for our MCI (mild cognitive impairment) and dementia community. Their approach to engaging individuals in physical and cognitive exercises in a social environment aligns well with what we know helps older individuals with memory loss. I hear many positive things about IMEP from my patients, not only that they find it helpful, but also that they find it to be “so much fun” (as a recent patient of mine stated). I will continue to refer my patients to the IMEP program.”

Dr. Melanie Chandler, Ph.D., Mayo Clinic, Division of Psychology

“We have been with the IMEP program for years and we absolutely love it. It brings people in who do not normally come to a day program. It has attracted a new clientele that would not come otherwise. The clients just love it. The feedback we receive from families is equally wonderful. They always report that their loved ones talk more, and they are happier and more excited by life since coming to the program. 50% of our current clientele would not be here if it wasn’t for IMEP.”

– Julie Tombari, Adminstrator, New Day Adult Day Center, North Palm Beach, FL

“We have had tremendous growth with the IMEP program. We are attracting people at the early stages of cognitive decline who are motivated to be proactive and take action to mitigate the progression. The materials provided keep the participants engaged and stimulated. It has had a huge impact on our agency and we love it.”

– Crystal Collier, Kane Center, Council on Aging of Martin County, FL

What participants and caregivers say about IMEP™

“It’s a totally relaxed and non-threatening environment. It’s very comfortable – one of the most comfortable I’ve experienced. That’s just as important as the educational aspect – the experience of being in a supportive and caring environment.”

“From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by the facilitators and the participants! The class agenda was introduced to Mom in such a way that would make her feel comfortable and in control of making a positive and educated choice and change in her life.”

“The classes have greatly improved my husband’s overall ability to function. When he first arrived he wouldn’t engage with other participants. Now he has a positive outlook, joins in group discussions, raises his hand to share, and interacts socially with others in the class.”

“I am so happy that my mom has the opportunity to be part of this exceptional program. Mom is excited, positive, and for the first time in ten years she wanted to go buy herself a new outfit to go to class!”

“Mom is absolutely loving it and never wants me to pick her up early! This program, your staff, and even the precious individuals in the class, are a complete answer to our prayers! My family is so thankful for your program!”

“IMEP is the one true place where my wife gets to socialize. There's no other place, not even church, where she is able to truly interact. She has real friends there. It's the days that she can go to IMEP that she comes alive."
