T.I.M.E. Program
An early memory loss class for those wanting to keep their memory sharp. It’s like exercise, but for your brain.
The T.I.M.E. Program allows you to engage in educational topics related to memory, participate in mental and physical exercise, learn memory techniques and strategies and enjoy social support, creativity and laughter.
A New Era of Early Memory Support
We’re proud to offer the T.I.M.E. Program (Tessera Integrated Memory Enhancement)—an innovative early memory loss class designed to empower those in the early stages of memory change. Available at our Brookfield, Fox Point, Mukwonago and Verona communities, this program reflects our commitment to compassionate, purpose-driven care.
The T.I.M.E. Program provides a structured, curriculum-based approach that blends cognitive engagement, social connection, and practical tools to help participants maintain independence and quality of life in a safe, supportive setting.
Program highlights include:
Cognitive Stimulation – Engaging activities to strengthen and maintain cognitive abilities.
Social Connection – Opportunities to build friendships and reduce isolation.
Everyday Strategies – Practical techniques to navigate daily tasks with confidence.
At Azura, we believe in celebrating each person’s journey with dignity and compassion. The T.I.M.E. Program is a testament to that belief—bringing hope, empowerment, and community to those beginning to experience memory loss.
Why the TIME Program?
Azura has partnered with the Integrative Memory Enhancement Program (IMEP), based in Florida, to bring their innovative weekly curriculum to our communities. While many computer-based memory programs can be fun, challenging, and beneficial, they often lack the essential social support, interaction, and individualized attention that an IMEP classroom provides.
What makes IMEP unique is its focus on the mind–body connection—recognizing that mental and emotional well-being directly influence physical health, and vice versa. These classes are not confined to a set timeframe; instead, IMEP offers a sustained, ongoing intervention. Participants who are functioning independently are welcome to remain in the program for as long as they benefit from it.
The program is backed by research showing the power of mental and social engagement in protecting brain health:
Mayo Clinic (2009): People who engaged in mentally challenging activities in their 50s and 60s were 40% less likely to develop memory problems.
Rush University (2010): Complex tasks were linked to improved cognition and a lower risk of dementia.
Time Online (2011): Being highly social cut dementia risk by 70%.
UCLA Longevity Center (2012): Those with higher cognitive reserve could better compensate for age- or disease-related brain changes.
Johns Hopkins (2013): Regular reading and math tasks helped maintain and even improve cognitive function in both healthy seniors and those with dementia.
Through IMEP, Azura is proud to provide a program that blends cognitive stimulation, social connection, and holistic wellness—empowering participants to thrive and maintain their independence for as long as possible.
