Montessori for Aging and Dementia

Montessori for Aging and Dementia adapts the educational Montessori philosophy to support older adults with memory loss. It emphasizes engaging residents in meaningful, purposeful activities that match their abilities, encouraging independence and dignity. By creating a structured environment with clear, accessible tasks—like simple chores or self-care routines—it reduces confusion and agitation, while promoting cognition and social interaction. The approach respects individual preferences and fosters a sense of accomplishment, helping individuals maintain their skills and improve quality of life despite cognitive challenges.
