BCAT® Integration in Senior Living Communities

BCAT® Integration in Senior Living Communities

The BCAT® Approach is an evidence-based cognitive system that can be used by staff, healthcare professionals, residents, and families. The BCAT® Test System leverages comprehensive assessments, treatment interventions, and resident engagement activities to maximize the cognitive and functional abilities of older adults.  Senior living communities that use the BCAT® Approach focus on cognition as a vital sign with a common goal of supporting optimal brain health and cognitive wellness, enhancing resident and family satisfaction with community services, and improving financial outcomes.

Organizational partners leverage BCAT® tools and programs to meet the cognitive needs of residents living in all levels of care.  The scientifically validated tools found in our senior living packages support residents with normal cognition who are interested in maintaining their brain health, while also supporting residents with mild, moderate, and severe cognitive impairment. Additionally, BCAT® tools and programs are designed to improve staff retention and work satisfaction, as well as provide valuable resources for family members.
