By The Michigan Cognitive Recovery Center
Fort Gratiot Township, Mich. – The Michigan Cognitive Recovery Center (MCRC) at Lakeshore Woods, a senior living community in Fort Gratiot Township, has launched ReCODE+ for Facilities Program™ (ReCODE+) in partnership with Apollo Health. MCRC is the first facility in Michigan and one of only two 24/7 residential facilities in the United States to offer this innovative residential cognitive recovery program.
Developed by neurologist and Apollo Health Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Dale Bredesen, the ReCODE Protocol is a personalized, precision-medicine approach to identify and address the underlying contributors to early-stage Alzheimer’s Disease, Dementia, and other mild cognitive impairment. Using decades of research, the protocol uses participant’s medical history, genetics and biomarkers to create a customized plan aimed at improving cognitive function and overall health.
ReCODE+ is the comprehensive 12-month residential experience for individuals who may need or benefit from additional support, structure and oversight. The program combines personalized interventions with a carefully managed environment designed to maximize health outcomes. MCRC is now accepting new residents for the ReCODE+ program at its Lakeshore Woods facility.
“For families facing cognitive decline, the options have historically focused on managing symptoms rather than addressing root causes,” said Steven Larsen, founder and CEO of MCRC and owner of Lakeshore Woods. “After watching my brother succumb to Alzheimer’s disease, I knew there had to be a better way. We’re proud to bring this groundbreaking program to Michigan and offer hope to families across the region.”
Lakeshore Woods has served older adults for more than 30 years through independent living, assisted living and memory care services. The community maintains staffing levels that exceed typical skilled nursing staffing standards, providing residents with highly personalized care and enhanced support. ReCODE+ residents will live in the Birch building, a dedicated residence designed for program participants with personalized daily programming that includes exercise, nutrition and other therapies tailored to each resident’s needs based on comprehensive biomarker testing.
