Holding Onto What Makes Them ‘Them’
Dementia may change how someone experiences the world, but it should never take away their identity.
From day one, we invite residents to share their Life story, treasured memories, family traditions, favourite meals, and beloved hobbies. These guide everything we do, from the activities we plan to the conversations we share, creating moments of familiarity and joy.
