What Families Are Saying

About Axis Brain Health

“The biggest change our family has seen is that she is much quicker to formulate her thoughts and join in to some very fast and noisy family discussions. Before she started working in the (Axis) program, we would be several subjects along before she got to make comment and at that point, the comment was no longer relevant. I think she is also finding the right words more often now if she is trying to think of something that has happened earlier, a street name or a person's name etc."

“He has become more independent and is also more confident in his decision making. I find he is more capable of multitasking and his memory seems to have improved. He’s always said I talk too much and I’ve confused him, but he’s more able to retain what I’ve said and he doesn’t get as overwhelmed when I explain a few too many things to him.”

“He has an increase in physical and mental stamina it is easier for him to listen to me and hold his attention on what I'm saying. I have noticed lower levels of frustration and daily task seem easier for him. Most days are good days for him now and the number of off days he experiences is much lower.”

"One part of the program that is particularly beneficial is the social aspect. Lots of people with head injury are somewhat isolated. Having somewhere scheduled to go each week is a very positive aspect for her.”
