Dignified Support Grounded in Empathy and Respect
Navigating the journey of memory loss requires dedicated professional partners who lead with patience, specialized knowledge, and profound compassion. Our Montessori Moments in Time™ memory care program provides a comforting, secure setting where each person is treated with unwavering dignity and respect.
Rather than highlighting cognitive changes, our trained care partners celebrate each individual’s unique history, personal talents, and character. Meanwhile, our thoughtfully designed neighborhood layouts promote calm orientation and reduce anxiety so residents can experience meaningful moments of connection every day.
What Is Montessori Moments in Time™?
Our memory care program is based on a platform of respect for each individual as a person. We acknowledge each resident as someone who is important, with significant life stories, talents, and preferences.
This program is a research-informed framework designed to provide compassionate support for those living with dementia. As an Authorized Validation Organization (AVO), our teams are experts in communication techniques that reduce anxiety and foster genuine connection.
We use validation to meet residents in their reality, upholding their self-esteem and emotional comfort. This approach turns daily care into a meaningful partnership between our staff, the residents, and their families.
It All Starts with The Resident Life Story
Who our residents are and the lives they’ve led are important elements in providing the best care. Understanding what makes them tick, what causes agitation, and what inspires joy is crucial as we build out programming and learn the best way to communicate with one another.
Before someone joins one of our communities, we ask that families complete a Resident Life Story that shares with our team all the information we need to offer a meaningful experience.
