Effective Memory Support

What do older adults with memory loss need? They need to make sense of the physical and emotional world around them, have meaningful interactions with others, and participate in stimulating activities while feeling secure and valued. At Mather LifeWays Institute on Aging, we are assessing the benefits of specific activities for older adults with memory loss.

The memory support initiatives of Mather LifeWays have included implementation of a specialized assisted living day services program and numerous staff educational programs focused on person-centered care. We created and launched S.E.L.F., an advanced training model for caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's Disease and other forms of dementia.
