Memory Care Activities
Creating Moments of Joy
Unfortunately, dementia takes away the roles and responsibilities which make us who we are. Activities can make a significant difference in the health and well-being of those with dementia…..this is why our days are designed using our specialized program called, The “Just Right” Day.
In order for our residents to experience a “Just Right” day every day, we provide a structured, yet flexible routine which consists of four key components: Activities which are Productive, provide Enjoyment, encourage Wellness, and are Restorative to the soul.
Here’s how we do it...
Designing the “Just Right” Day
- Daily routines are important to those affected by dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. They are the foundation in the design of the day.
- Creating a flow: imagine the flow of a wave-it starts slow, builds up to a peak and then comes back down as it approaches the shore. We create a similar balance by offering a variety of activities throughout the day which consist of the four key components.
- Individualized Programming allows us to cater to the resident’s strengths, current abilities, and past interests so their days are meaningful and filled with a sense of pride.
