Our Award-Winning Spark® Program
The friendly and compassionate staff at Summer Wood 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 Management’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 caregiver staff.

Memory Care vs. Assisted Living
At Summer Wood Alzheimer’s Special Care, we understand that each resident’s needs are unique. It’s important to recognize the difference between assisted living and memory care. Assisted Living communities are ideal for seniors who require assistance with daily tasks like housekeeping, medication management, personal care and other needs while maintaining a level of independence. Memory Care, however, is specifically designed for those living with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other cognitive impairments, providing a secure environment with specialized care.
Our Memory Care residents at Summer Wood not only receive these essential assisted living services but also benefit from our high-quality, compassionate care tailored to their specific memory care needs. As their journey progresses, our dedicated team ensures they receive the best possible support, focusing on their comfort, dignity, and well-being every step of the way.
