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 and Independent 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.

Tammy Schmall
Executive Director
Tammy grew up in Firebaugh California in a small farming community 65 miles west of Fresno, where everyone knew everyone. From the time she was little girl she was very close to her grandmother. Tammy started her career in 1989 as a nursing assistant, then went on to become a CNA for several years. She then was transferred to become an Activity Assistant for a couple of years after which she was promoted to the Director. Working with seniors for the last 34 years has been a true blessing and it has become part of who she is today.
