A consultation with Charlotte St James can help you address these questions and search for solutions.
Twenty two years experience in geriatric care management and a background in Counseling Psychology give Charlotte a special understanding of MCI (mild cognitive impairment), and how it relates to quality of life. Her brain fitness program makes use of six areas of human existence: intellectual, emotional, physical, spiritual, creative, and relational. Research suggests that activities in these areas enhance brain health and improve memory. Charlotte has a proven record of finding ways to relate to her senior clients--as one daughter put it, “Charlotte became a friend that my mother looked forward to seeing.”
