Memory Stimulation
Our memory care experts work closely with individuals suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's to improve their memory and thinking skills and to help them cope with memory loss. Activities such as word games, puzzles, reading, art projects and physical exercise are used to stimulate the mind and body—providing an improved quality of life.
Sensory Stimulation
AvantGarde uses sensory stimulation as a nurturing therapy to activate the one or more of the senses. It can be as simple as the smell of freshly cooked popcorn or oven baked pizza, listening to a favorite song or the soothing touch of a hand massage with essential oils. It can spark old memories, reduce stress and anxiety while improving mood and physical responses.
Social Interacton
Our approach to social interaction helps memory loss individuals move from daydreaming towards socializing and connecting with others–keeping their minds exercised and responsive. Socialization creates a sense of belonging and helps boost self-esteem, which leads to better eating habits, more exercise and better sleep.
