Q. What are some of the memory support programs that Ashbridge Senior Living provides?
A. If you have met one person with dementia, you have met one person with dementia.” Each and every person is different and their experience with their individual condition causing dementia is personalized. At Ashbridge Senior Living, we employ a number of proven techniques to enable each individual to live their life to the fullest.
Among these techniques: Montessori- based programming builds upon the strengths of procedural function within the brain. Reminiscence helps individuals recall and share life stories that engage conversation, exercise the brain, improve social interaction, and lower depression. Namaste touches and honors the spirit within the person with dementia to encourage,
comfort and soothe.
Having dedicated, educated and compassionate Resident Companions who work with residents on a scheduled basis is key to developing the trust
necessary to provide care and services. While all staff is specially trained, Ashbridge strives to select exceptional individuals for these enlightened positions.
Q. How do I know if my loved one is in need of memory care?
