Independent living
Residents who still drive, cook, host
The group most motivated to hold the line. Weekly cognitive-motor work, tracked across sessions, gives them (and their families) a thing to point to.
For retirement residences
The same cognitive-motor protocol, adapted for active agers and delivered in-residence by staff you already have. Residents stay sharper; families and clinicians see measurable change between visits.
§ 01 — Who this is for
Not a memory-care intervention. A cognitive-motor training program for residents who are already functional and want to stay that way longer — and for the residences that want to show their families the difference.
Independent living
The group most motivated to hold the line. Weekly cognitive-motor work, tracked across sessions, gives them (and their families) a thing to point to.
Assisted living
For residents where day-to-day function is starting to cost effort. Thirty minutes that cushions the ride — reaction, attention, reduced fatigue.
Memory care adjacency
Early research with cognitive-motor integration training suggests some early-stage participants recover markers of healthy cognition. The protocol runs as a standard offering, not a clinical trial.
§ 02 — The program
The residence keeps doing what it already does well. We add one room, one piece of equipment, one half-hour slot per resident per week. Your wellness staff deliver it after a short training.
One AR headset per cohort, a small clear space (a corner of the wellness room is usually enough), a tablet for the coach. Quarterly calibration visit by our staff.
Approximately one hour of training for a wellness-team member to deliver the protocol. The coached element is warm and low-stress — residents describe it as “a nice thirty minutes,” not a test.
Per resident: one 30-minute coached session per week, same time each week. Residents work through a sequence of cognitive-motor tasks calibrated to their baseline and progressing over the term.
Every twelve weeks, families receive a written summary: attendance, trajectory on three core measures, a short plain-language note from the coach. The thing that says “we’re doing this right.”
§ 03 — What people notice
I’m sleeping better. My endurance is better. My cognitive speed is quicker — writing emails, scheduling, planning my week
Energy
Case-series participants reported substantial improvement on SF-36 Energy scales — enough to exceed minimal clinically important differences. Residents start doing the small things again.
Sleep
Thorough sleep — not just time in bed. Reduced restlessness, less nighttime waking. Sleep measures improved consistently across adult training cohorts.
Cognition
The small hesitation that’s become familiar — name retrieval, decision weight, planning load — eases. Cognitive-motor integration training targets exactly the system that slows with age.
§ 04 — The science, briefly
The protocol was developed in Dr. Lauren Sergio’s lab at York University over three decades of cognitive-motor research. Her published work shows that thirty minutes a week of cognitive-motor integration training produces significant cognition improvements — and that some participants at the early edge of decline recover markers of healthy cognition.

We partner with retirement residences across the GTA and beyond. Tell us about your community — size, existing wellness programming, what’s working, what isn’t — and we’ll plan a rollout together.
