When you hear “Montessori” you don’t normally think about effective elderly care. Thousand Oaks, CA families may rely on a Montessori school for their children, but few would think about the benefits of the Montessori method when providing help for seniors with Alzheimers.
But it really does make sense: a Montessori program emphasizes the needs of the individual, identifying what they need, and providing an environment prepared with stimulations or prompts that respond to those needs. Working with children means opening up their minds to wonder and learning. But when looking for “Alzheimer's care services near me” Thousand Oaks, CA could consider the benefits of a Montessori-inspired approach to dementia care.
