Under the leadership of dr. bill dalziel— Ottawa’s #1dementia specialist—Our team of caregivers receive some of the most stringent training in the industry.
Strong Leadership and Dementia Expertise
Our Memory Care Services are overseen by our in-house geriatric doctor and Dementia expert, Dr. Bill Dalziel. Our team of caregivers receive some of the most stringent training in the industry to ensure we provide the best care and meet the unique needs of residents struggling with Dementia. Our memory care services create a safe and stimulating environment for those with dementia– including its most common form, Alzheimer’s disease.
Comforting and secure spaces
Our memory care community provides highly secure personal and communal spaces. Private studios offer a place for quiet, rest, and personal care. Shared spaces indoors and outdoors provide room to gather, socialize, share meals, exercise, and engage in familiar activities.
Familiar Surroundings
We actively try to engage our senior's memory with personal effects. Memory boxes at each resident’s door display personal photos, newspaper clippings, and objects that reflect their most precious memories. We also use music, aromatherapy, and touch and feel boards that rotate around the residence floor.
Memory Specific Activities Five to six times daily
We understand that purposeful activities help our residents feel engaged, connected, and valued. It is important that all of our residents participate in activities that are geared to their unique needs. We develop a specialized activity program for residents on our Dementia floor. Activities often include: storytelling, music therapy, art therapy, crafts, sensory crafts, and household chores.
