Our Caregiver Outreach Program - This program is for caregivers who are caring for loved ones that have Alzheimer's or any other memory related disorder. A caregiver needs help and support while caring for a loved one. They often feel isolated and alone. They become exhausted and need a caring individual to listen to them. Our Outreach coordinator has a heart as big as the world and she will help you find respite and gain that inner strength that you need to work with your loved one. <more>
Restorative Therapy Program - Not only has Medicare has reduced the time for physical and occupational therapist, from six weeks to three weeks, but the service will only be available for three times a year for anyone in Day Care or Home Care. With Alzheimer's patients, as the disease advances there is a progressive physical decline. The dementia client is often in need of either physical or occupational therapy and have limited opportunities because of the restriction placed on them with our present health system. Professional therapists work to correct or improve the client's deficiency. The problem exacerbates when they can no longer provide the physical therapy needed after the three week restriction. If the required therapy isn't received, then the client will often begin to decline again. Our CNA's are trained as restorative aides to maintain the required therapy on each patient. This serves two purposes; first, it improves the quality of their life and secondly, it improves the overall physical and mental health of the patient. Hopefully it will reduce the need for re-hospitalization, the costs associated with caring for them and the stress on the caregiver. <more>
Multi-Therapeutic Intervention Program - Over 10 years of research, starting with the initial study developed by Dr. Monique C. Grelot, PhD, set the foundation for our program. Camile Hunter, LSMW advanced the program with her study on the “Exploration Research for Alzheimer’s disease Victims and/or related Dementias and their Caregivers.” Sandy Rutherford further developed the program and finalized the Multi-Therapeutic Intervention program using a multi-sensory stimulation curriculum. Our Multi-Therapeutic Intervention Program (MTI), for the care recipient, has given us the ability to extend and hold ones functional capability, with most of our clients, thus improving their quality of life over a longer period. We are now trying to design therapies that will befit all clients. <more>
