Description:
My name is Ana. I have over 10 years experience with seniors suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's. I have a caring and loving approach and offer meaningful activities to raise their quality of life. My program is for home-bound seniors. Each visit typically lasts about an hour. Montessori based activities offers a dignified approach to maintaining or improving skills needed in their daily lives along with intellectual stimulation.Please contact me if you would like more information and or schedule an evaluation of your loved one."For an older person who is experiencing memory loss, either from stroke, illness or Alzheimer's disease, the use of the Montessori Method can help preserve many skills while also stimulating the mind (...) Persons with dementia may seem to be detached both physically and emotionally from their environment and the people in it. Helping older people reconnect with their environment is an important part of the Montessori approach to activities for older people. Without this sort of reconnection, people with dementia may become frustrated and agitated, even belligerent." (Montessori and Dementia: A New Vision by Tom and Karen Brenner Montessori International Magazine, July - September, 2005, p.38-41)
