Aside from physical strength and functionality, a healthy mind and lifestyle habits play a huge component in becoming and staying well. In this program our team instructs clients in healthy eating, managing stress, and maintenance of healthy habits, routines and occupational behaviors.
We also provide specific treatment for those with dementia or cognitive deficits through the Abilities Care Approach. The Abilities Care Approach provides patients with Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias the opportunity to achieve and maintain their highest level of functional independence. Determining how mental, physical , and psychosocial capabilities interact with task demands and caregiving approaches, allows our team to impact functional performance in activities of daily living, functional mobility, communication and engagement in meaningful activities.
The Abilities Care Approach results in a comprehensive understanding of resident’s remaining abilities , as well as an understanding of their life story and history. This comprehensive understanding of the resident guides the clinician in developing interventions and approaches that match the individual’s preferences and interests, and are adapted to his or her best ability to function.
