Education that Empowers
Knowledge is a powerful tool, and our program begins with a strong emphasis on education. Our team, comprised of skilled professionals and discipline specialists, offers informative sessions designed to enhance understanding of dementia and equip patients and caregivers with the knowledge and skills they need to navigate the challenge of dementia. From the basics of An Introduction to Dementia to the importance of nutrition, auditory skills, and exercise to advanced caregiving techniques, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Physical, occupational, and speech therapies play a vital role in promoting the well-being of individuals with dementia. Our program includes access to rehabilitation services, where our team of professionals – including physical therapists (PT), occupational therapists (OT), and speech therapists – work collaboratively to address physical, cognitive, and communication challenges. These therapies are tailored to each patient’s unique needs, fostering independence and overall quality of life.
