  Our Mission

Based on research, social interaction may slow cognitive decline, meaning social activities and engagement are crucial for those with cognitive impairment. Therefore, our mission is to alleviate social isolation by providing social and cognitive engagement activities and assist in retaining independence by offering personalized enrichment services.
