The environment in which their loved one has been living no longer seems safe or practical, yet an institution does not seem to be the answer. The program is designed to meet these residents' special needs by minimizing frustrations, encouraging communication and increasing self-esteem. Through this program, residents maintain dignity and the ability to overcome daily challenges. Memory Support Program staff are trained to understand the challenges associated with Alzheimer's Disease. Program participants spend all or part of their day in a calm, reassuring environment.
Activities enhance self-help skills and help residents participate in life in a meaningful way.
