Positive, meaningful experiences together are what DiscoveryPaks are all about.

Family and professional caregivers often find it difficult to think of new and interesting ways to inspire their care partners. Much of their time is, appropriately, focused on the provision of care; therefore, the challenges of preparing a stimulating activity reduce the likelihood and frequency of shared intellectual and social forms of stimulation. Even if a care partner has the time, developing an activity in a way that optimizes the intrinsic and functional capacities of the people for whom they are created takes experience and knowledge of the cognitive process.

Our approach to enriching engagement brings expertise to the process to enhance its value to the recipient. Educationally, our product development team holds degrees in various therapeutic modalities (art, music, and recreational therapy). Additionally, each DiscoveryPak is user tested in assisted living homes with a diverse group of seniors. We adapt them to changing cognitive and physical skill levels by providing alternative ways to engage someone, and we eliminate the ones that do not meet our high standards.
