Montessori Method for Aging and Dementia

The Montessori Method for Aging and Dementia adapts principles of the Montessori educational approach to support older adults, particularly those with cognitive impairments. It emphasizes creating an engaging environment to promote independence and dignity. Activities are tailored to individuals' abilities, focusing on their strengths and interests, rather than cognitive limitations. This method encourages social interaction, sensory experiences, and purposeful activities, fostering a sense of achievement and purpose. By prioritizing personal choice and a supportive setting, the Montessori approach helps improve the quality of life for those affected by aging and dementia.
