We provide a Person-Centered-Care approach, focusing on the person not the disease. This premise is founded on the ethic that all human beings are of absolute value and worthy of respect, no matter what their disability, and on a conviction that people with dementia can lead fulfilling lives. The unique qualities of the residents are determined by their life stories and experiences, likes and dislikes. Every effort is made to foster independence and freedom of choice. Residents make decisions at their capacity level, which instills independence and self-worth. We encourage residents to engage in meaningful tasks at a level they are able and comfortable to manage. Joining residents in their reality and understanding their world is the only way to provide exceptional dementia care. We enable residents to live life not just exist.
