STAR-10R
Brief Description:  
STAR-10R™ is a system of Intervention for Prevention of key Dementia symptoms.

It is designed to not only slow down the progression of known symptoms affecting
cognitive and memory alterations in Early-stage Dementia, but also prevent the onset
of further associated symptom development. What makes STAR-10R™ unique as a
non-pharmacological intervention in the management of Dementia is its “preventive”
nature, in that symptoms are addressed BEFORE they occur.  Through the Pioneering
of revolutionary principles, and internally developed proprietary methods, AFFECTS has
composed 10 specific ‘elements’ (10R's) that each deal with common signs in those
affected by the onset of Dementia. To our knowledge, no enhancement non-medication
approaches or practices exist that offer anything remotely similar to

STAR-10R™!  

Skills Training in the STAR-10R™ Methods and Techniques is a valuable professional
skill-set for anyone working with, or those who support Dementia patients or
residents.  It is an essential service integration to current programs of rehabilitative
care in Memory Care units and Rehab Centers, Nursing Homes, Senior Care
Residences, as well as Assisted Living communities.  A Home-based ‘Care’
organization or company would benefit immensely by having STAR-10R™ as its
flagship service in Dementia care!

Supplement to STAR-10R™ complementing existing Dementia care modalities in
enhancing patient or resident’s health outcomes, the professional development of your
staff is a major business differentiator for your community.  The active inter-personal
methods of STAR-10R™ have direct positive effect on memory and cognitive function.  
Subsequently mental health is improved, which thereby reduces the need for
dependency on unnecessary medication.  

Our Approach:
AFFECTS approach is also totally different. Through having your own payrolled staff
trained in STAR-10R™, rather than AFFECTS Consultants providing the services on-
site, you have no additional overhead, risk or liability.  The only cost outlay involved is
the one-off investment in training your staff to be skilled in implementing the Methods
and Techniques of the STAR-10R™ system, with a relatively small overall training cost,
and fees with continued AFFECTS cooperation.

America and other Western countries’ Healthcare systems, are undergoing major and
significant change, and now, more than ever with our aging population, the Health and
Social care of our Seniors is paramount!  STAR Preventive Wellness, tailored to the
Baby-boomer generation is right at the forefront of this new transformation, advocating
for and supporting Independent Living, Assisted Living and Nursing Homes, Hospitals,
Memory Care and Rehab Units. Our programs are currently being offered in the United
States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and some European countries, with plans in
progress for World-wide roll-out.

"Ray Ashton is one of the most innovative and aspiring business entrepreneur that I have had the experience to meet and learn from. He had a dream and
has worked very hard to see the dream become a reality. His goals to help others and be an inspiration to others is well seen in his actions. The Star-10R
program, set for Improving the Quality of Life for Early Stage Dementia, is the new highway for all caregivers and professionals to become knowledgeable
in dealing with the our "senior population" of the baby boomer generation. His course is needed by anyone in the Healthcare profession.”

“Ray Ashton is extremely detail oriented and very passionate about Preventive Wellness for seniors. I have had the pleasure of working with him for just
over a month now and have only good things to say about my work relationship with him.  I took the STAR-10R training with Ray Ashton and any thoughts I
had about the program before hand were only further enhanced and rewarded afterwards. The training was intensive and amazing all in one! I have never
seen an approach like this for seniors with early stages of Dementia. It combines so many different approaches in one from a behavioral, cognitive,
emotion-oriented and stimulation background. I love the fact that it is NON-medication oriented and gives another choice to seniors with dementia, as well
as the professionals involved. I would highly recommend this training to other professionals or caregivers. Where else can you find an approach that
stimulates the thought process, motor skills and emotional awareness of the individual with early stages of Dementia?"
