Memory Support
How many times have you walked into a room, only to forget why you entered it?
Do you struggle to keep track of appointments, errands, or other to-do tasks? Or do you start tasks, but forget to finish them?
Memory rehab focuses on two things:
Strengthening your memory
Developing strategies to help your memory work more efficiently
Memory loss can impact daily living tasks like forgetting the stove is on or missing medication doses. Many other cognitive skills impact memory including attention and organization. These skills can be worked on in treatment to reduce episodes of forgetfulness.

Meal Planning and Preparation
Our meal planning and prep services can help you learn to make efficient, healthy meals. We encourage making meals in bulk to reduce daily meal prep burden. The following examples are just a few reasons people ask for meal prep services:
lack of meal planning makes food prep difficult (especially if specific meals or a food list is not made before shopping)
grocery shopping is too overwhelming
tired of buying duplicate items at the grocery store, or worse… forgetting to buy the items you need
dread the many steps of cooking… it’s too much so you order out instead (but that gets pricey!)
don’t know how to make healthy meals
need help with finding and following recipes

Problem solving
Judgment
Communication

Daily life skills (medication administration, managing money, meal planning and preparation, preparing to volunteer or return to work, coordinating transportation, etc.)

Thinking and planning ahead (anticipating consequences)
