Memory Care at Home
Every individual experiences cognitive decline differently. Whether someone has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia, their abilities, interests, and challenges are unique.
Our specialists work with each individual's preserved abilities, adapting activities to their needs to enhance quality of life.
Rather than defining our programming by stages of dementia, we focus on what each person can do, what interests them, and how we can best engage them.
Our Person-Centered Approach
Understanding the Individual
We get to know each client's personal history, interests, daily routines, and preserved abilities.
Personalized Programming
We develop customized, goal-driven, sensory-rich activity plans that encourage engagement and help reduce behavioral symptoms.
Ongoing Adaptation
We observe each client's responses and continually adjust activities as their needs and abilities change.
What We Offer
Cognitive Curriculum
Our structured curriculum features targeted games and activities that engage memory, attention, language, executive functioning, processing speed, and hand-eye coordination.
Our specialists assess each person's abilities, introduce appropriate challenges, and observe their responses over time. Rather than pushing skills that may no longer be accessible, we build on preserved abilities and create opportunities for meaningful participation and accomplishment.
Activities include: Cognitive games, problem-solving exercises, word activities, visual scanning, and memory prompts.
Sensory Curriculum
As cognitive decline progresses, communication, attention, and participation in familiar activities may become more difficult. Yet meaningful engagement remains possible.
Our sensory curriculum uses touch, scent, sound, color, and texture to encourage awareness, responsiveness, and connection.
Even subtle responses: opening one's eyes, turning toward a sound, or reaching for an object offer valuable insight. Our specialists observe these reactions and adapt activities to what captures attention, provides comfort, and encourages engagement.
Activities include: Sensory boards, tactile exploration, aromatherapy, visual stimulation, and interactive sensory materials.
Arts-Based Engagement
For many older adults, Broadway, museums, theater, and creative expression have been meaningful parts of their lives. As accessing these experiences becomes difficult, we bring the arts directly to them.
Our team includes professional actors, musicians, dancers, and artists who share their expertise through interactive performances, creative activities, and artistic engagement tailored to each individual. Beyond the activity itself, these sessions encourage self-expression, reminiscence, conversation, and companionship.
Activities include: Painting, reminiscence scrapbooking, collage-making, storytelling, interactive theater, music, and movement.
Music Engagement
Music can create meaningful connections, even when verbal communication and other forms of engagement become difficult.
Research suggests that music-based interventions may support emotional well-being and reduce certain behavioral symptoms in individuals living with dementia.
Through live music, familiar melodies, rhythm, and interactive musical experiences, our specialists encourage attention, emotional expression, and participation adapting each session to the individual's musical preferences, history, and abilities.
Activities include: Live singing, interactive instruments, percussion, musical reminiscence, and movement to music.
