Our Award-Winning Spark® Program

The friendly and compassionate staff at Catalina Springs is proud to offer our Memory Care residents our award-winning Spark® program.  Imagine a program specially designed for seniors that not only strives to help them reach their full potential but also provides an opportunity to spend their days with a sense of joyful purpose. Frontier Senior Living’s award-winning Spark® program is exactly that!

Spark® is a research-based program inspired by the teachings and research of Maria Montessori and Dr. Cameron Camp, which focuses on giving residents meaningful ways to feel needed and be productive. We use tailor-fit assessment tools to evaluate each resident’s capabilities and strengths, so the program can best meet their specific needs.

The Four Pillars of the Frontier Spark® Program 

The effectiveness and success of our Spark® program for Memory Care Residents is based on 4 foundational pillars.

• Social: We ensure that each resident has a role in the community that allows them to interact with others.
• Skills Focused: Our Montessori Assessment Tool uncovers remaining skills often missed by traditional evaluations.
• Procedural Memory: Skills can be learned and even improved through repetitive “procedural learning,” which allows residents to perform routine activities with less concerted effort.
• Progression & Goal Setting: Residents who work on projects or learn new things over a period of time with a set goal in mind feel more engaged and successful.

Inspiring contribution, productivity and engagement from all of our residents is our mission. Residents are encouraged to participate in a wide range of activities based on their personal interests and abilities. We celebrate our seniors as the unique individuals that they are by providing them with both meaningful experiences and proven therapeutic techniques to help them retain their cognitive capabilities to the fullest extent possible.

If you would like to learn more about how your loved one can fill their days with meaning and purpose through our award-winning Spark® program, we would love to speak with you more about it. You are cordially invited to visit our beautiful properties, take a tour and meet our friendly and compassionate staff of caregivers.

Memory Care vs. Assisted Living

At Catalina Springs Memory Care, we understand that every individual’s journey with Alzheimer’s and other memory-related conditions is unique. While our community is dedicated to memory care, we offer a range of assisted living services that ensure your loved one enjoys a fulfilling and comfortable life. From daily meal preparation and housekeeping to engaging social activities, our amenities mirror those typically found in assisted living communities.

What sets Catalina Springs apart is our commitment to evolving care that adapts as your loved one’s needs change. As their memory care requirements increase, we provide enhanced support tailored to their specific needs, all within a secure and nurturing environment. This dynamic approach allows us to combine the best of assisted living services with specialized memory care, ensuring that residents receive the right level of care at every stage.

At Catalina Springs, your loved one will benefit from a community that seamlessly integrates assisted living-type services with personalized memory care, providing peace of mind and a life of dignity and comfort. Learn more about the differences between assisted living and memory care.
