About Alzheimer's

Alzheimer's is the most common form of Dementia and is characterized by how it impacts a human's behavior, thinking, and most importantly, memory. The symptoms can worsen over time, and the patient may have difficulty carrying out daily activities. Memory lapses, or mild memory loss, are usually one of the first signs of Alzheimer's disease and symptoms continue to worsen over time, although the rate at which the disease progresses can vary.

Maria Montessori is famous for revolutionizing child development and education, but people of all ages can benefit from the Montessori approach, especially when learning new things. Applying Montessori principles to Dementia Care doesn’t infantilize people living with Dementia. Similarly to children, it empowers them to be independent and creative.
