Memory Care: Memory care that focuses on Accomplishments
Using the Green House model’s deep respect for individuals, memory care addresses the needs of people living with dementia by emphasizing
The power of normal – creating a home where individuals live in the least restrictive environment possible, experiencing typical activities.
Focus on abilities – creating a culture that pays attention to people’s retained skills and real relationships with children, pets, and nature.
Dignity of risk – creating an atmosphere where each person retains the right to take risks.
Advocacy – creating an environment in which team members advance the idea that people are more than their diagnoses. Staff advocate for residents, ensuring expanded choices, experiences, and the right for rehabilitation.
