Both AMS and AMI have programs using the Montessori Method for Aging and Dementia as an innovative approach to dementia care that can be adapted for individuals or groups as a philosophy of care. The goal of the Montessori program is to support people living with dementia by creating a prepared environment, filled with cues and memory supports creating the opportunity for meaningful work that enables individuals to care for themselves, others, and their community so that they may live as independently as possible.  If you'd like to learn about Montessori for Adults with memory loss and intergenerational learning, join me!
