Montessori-Inspired Memory Care
Individuals living with Alzheimer’s, or any other type of dementia, may require more specialized care.
The Montecito Memory Care Community embraces the Montessori-Inspired Lifestyle Program developed by Dr. Cameron Camp, the Founder and Director of Research and Development at the Center for Applied Research in Dementia. This Montessori-Inspired Lifestyle Program focuses on a holistic care approach with an emphasis on physical and cognitive therapy practices.
About the Montessori Approach
The brand new stand-alone Montecito Memory Care Community is a single-story campus comprising 40 private studios specifically designed to foster a community-based experience for the residents, their families, and staff caring for them. Group engagement programs establish social roles and a sense of belonging, while singular activity programs cater to the needs of each resident independently.
The combination of programs ensures each member sustains a sense of purpose and engagement while maintaining personal independence.
Whether your loved one is in the early stages of dementia or they have been fighting the disease process for many years, The Montecito’s Montessori-inspired lifestyle program fosters independence, belonging and purpose, while providing the safety and security those suffering from dementia require.
