Cognitive Stimulation Therapy

For the Newly-diagnosed

Amazing Place’s Cognitive Stimulation Therapy program is for those diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). This evidence-based offering is ideal for those seeking a small group of peers where new ideas, thoughts and associations are generated in an informal setting.

Keep the Brain Active Among Peers

Amazing Place is special. Everyone is relatable. We share with each other. And you’re allowed to take your time and effort to say what you have to say.

Gary, Day Program Participant

I was living in social isolation. Now I’m much more socially aware—my world was silent, I was starved.

Gary, Day Program Participant

Bette, Day Program Participant

Coming to Amazing Place has gotten me out of the house. I could sit at home and just watch tv by myself. Here, I get to express myself. I love painting.

Sharon, Day Program participant

It’s hard to do this by yourself. I’m not alone. I’m on the same page with everyone here. You get to voice your opinion. I have a choice in what to do when I’m here.

Sharon, Day Program Participant

Toni, Day Program Participant

It is encouraging to come here. Everyone has their differences, but people pay attention here to who I am and what I want. They listen and if something’s not right, they rectify it.
