Intellicare’s mission is to provide the World’s most effective intellectual programming for memory challenged seniors, making a difference by enhancing the lives of seniors experiencing memory loss.
When did it start?
Product development has been taking place since 2008.
What does it do?
It stimulates the brain with content that is familiar, fun and engaging. In care homes, residents will participate in a variety of activity programs including intellectual activities such as bingo, trivia and reading programs, which are facilitated by a leader. Boomerang MIND delivers intellectual programming on a DVD or on-line which can be administered with or without a leader to support facilitation. Due to this, delivering Intellectual stimulation is easier than traditional methods and in facilities that are experiencing only 10% participation in intellectual programs, Boomerang MIND will increase intellectual stimulation with minimal human resources.
Why was it developed?
Boomerang MIND was developed to improve the quality of experiences in the area of intellectual stimulation for seniors in residential care, without putting a strain on already tight budgets. It answers the need for quality intellectual tools and helps to increase the time that seniors are engaged. Coreena Robertson, Director of Communications & Recreation at Fraserview Care Lodge, has worked in long-term care for over 20 years in the area of recreation and wellness. She recognized the need for easy to deliver and quality intellectual programming. Targeting those with memory challenges can be a huge drain on energy and having the right tools can make the process a win- win for both the program leader and the resident. Residents also spend a lot of time watching TV, so why not put something on that is specifically designed for them.
Boomerang MIND is created to better serve seniors with Alzheimer‟s and/or Dementia, and to aid family members, volunteers and residential workers with leading intellectual programs.

Who are the products for?
Our main target group is residents in long term care facilities with memory impairment, however, seniors without memory impairment are enjoying it as well. The product can be used in assisted living facilities, day-care homes or even in homes where the senior lives with the caregiver.
What are the benefits of the product to those with memory impairment?
Boomerang MIND is developed with the needs of the resident in mind. Its format, pace and content allows for an experience that is enjoyable and successful. The viewers will experience 30 minutes of intellectual stimulation that provides an entertaining session of beautiful images and may even move their body to the music. The benefits may include a feeling of accomplishment, an improvement in self-esteem, a positive outlook, a feeling of belonging (if done in a group), opportunity to trigger long term memory stores and the residual carry-over of a good feeling which may help delay or lessen loneliness and the occurrence of challenging behaviors.
What are the benefits to care-givers of those with memory impairment?
Being a caregiver can be both a rewarding and challenging experience. Taking care of your loved one who is experiencing memory loss, can make visits and interactions very difficult. Knowing how to connect or what to do with someone with memory impairment, especially in the more advanced stages, is a tough situation, even for those who are professionally trained. Boomerang MIND offers the opportunity for an entertaining and enjoyable visit that is easy to facilitate.
Are they only for residents in care home settings?
The product is developed as an answer to the challenge of providing effective intellectual programs in nursing homes. In a survey of 8 care homes, only 10% of programming for those in long term care facilities was intellectual. It is a great tool for effective intellectual programming in care homes, but it can also be used in assisted living, adult day care and in homes where the senior lives with the caregiver.
How can the product be used?
Boomerang MIND can be used as a staple program in residential care facilities. Care homes can have it run several times a day, with different target groups or use it as a tool for one to one visits. It may also be used at special events as an additional activity or as a stand-alone event by dividing higher functioning residents up into teams and creating a Boomerang MIND challenge.

How are intellectual programs for memory challenged residents in care homes currently delivered?
Boomerang Bingo Online
Intellectual programs are delivered as trivia, bingo, reading, news and views and any other type of program that requires intellectual processing. For trivia type programs, recreation facilitators generally will read from a variety of resources that contact material which is of interest to the residents. The challenge with this is not everyone can see or hear and maintaining attention can be very difficult. Intellicare uses both auditory and visual mediums to communicate with memory impaired seniors, increasing the effectiveness of the program.
