Our Award-Winning SPARK® Program



Hawks Ridge’s friendly and compassionate staff is proud to offer our Assisted Living residents our award-winning SPARK® program. Imagine a program designed for seniors that strives to help them reach their full potential and provides an opportunity to spend their days with a joyful purpose. Frontier Management’s award-winning SPARK® program is precisely 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 that the program can best meet their needs.
The Four Pillars of the Frontier SPARK® Program
The effectiveness and success of our SPARK® program for Assisted Living 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.
Our mission is to inspire contribution, productivity, and engagement from all of our residents. Residents are encouraged to participate in various activities based on their 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.
