Seniors Wellness Program

Fall prevention, cognitive wellness, visual processing speed and safe driving are integral pieces to maintaining your independence. At Summit’s Senior Wellness Program we will use cognitive-visual training to improve these vital skills! 

This program consists of the following: 

• Initial Assessment on the Senaptec Sensory Station

• One month in length

• 2 sessions per week (30 mins each) 

• Additional assessment after the program is available upon request at a reduced rate

What are we training?

• Visual Processing- Go/No Go (traffic signals), Multiple object tracking (navigating the world moving around you), reaction time (catching a falling object) 

• Balance and fall prevention- Depth perception (navigating stairs), eye-hand coordination (reaching for objects), dynamic vision (moving through garden with uneven surfaces) 

• Cognitive wellness- Working memory (reading), visual search (grocery shopping), pattern recognition (knitting, wood working) 

• Driving safety- Peripheral vision (seeing objects in the ditch), contrast sensitivity (driving in dim conditions/fog), attention (maintaining focus), reaction time (braking for a sudden object) 

This program is built for all seniors, regardless of physical ability. We will tailor training to participants' needs and split into groups accordingly. The program cost is $75 for an initial assessment which compares you to everyone just like you. This will give your vision coach a view of your strengths and deficits to then customize the training sessions which are $45 each. A whole month of self-improvement for $435 + GST!
