Special
Care Program for Seniors with Alzheimer's/Dementia
This unique Special Care Program located within Agoura
Hills Senior Retreat is designed to provide security, health, individuality,
peace of mind, and companionship through our Positive Interactions
Program.
The primary goal of the Positive Interactions Program
is to develop quality care for residents with dementia. The program
focuses on giving family members and caregivers the tools to create
opportunities for people with cognitive impairment to be successful
in their activities and their interactions with other people.
The Positive Interaction Program looks at a person
with dementia as a whole person with multiple needs and many personal
resources instead of as a one-dimensional, confused person with a
particular memory-based problem that needs to be addressed.
Because the interactions are planned and guided, the
Positive Interactions Program provides quality time in the lives
of the individuals and encourages their participation in many activities
which will provide them with the emotionally nourishing sense of
being capable and alive.
The purpose of the program is to achieve good quality
interpersonal interactions because the person with cognitive impairment
is dependent on successful interactions in order to meet their daily
living needs.
As always, we encourage family members to come meet
our hand picked Team of skilled, caring professionals and experience,
first-hand, our dedication and commitment to providing the best care
possible for their loved ones
