Frontier Memory Care Communities

1

Social Roles

Everyone has a desire to be useful, so we ensure that each resident has a role in the community. Working the front desk or serving neighbors are examples of meaningful tasks that empower and connect residents.

2

Skills Focused

Our Montessori Assessment Tool, created by the Center for Applied Research in Dementia, uncovers remaining skills often missed by traditional assessments. We can than strengthen and build on those identified skills.

3

Procedural Memory

Skills can be learned or improved through “procedural learning.” This repetition then allows routine activities to be performed with less need for concerted concentration.

4

Progression & Goal-Setting

By working on projects or learning topics over a longer period of time, always progressing toward a goal, residents become fully engaged and feel more successful.

Memory-Illness Diagnosis

A diagnosis with early stages of Alzheimer’s Disease or a form of Dementia is jarring for a family and is the most clear-cut sign you’ll need to consider some long-term living options at some point.

Home Care Becomes Strenuous

Many families engage in at-home caregiving, oftentimes enlisting professionals for a little extra help. But when that personal care routine becomes too strenuous due to increased memory loss, enrolling in a skilled nursing community becomes increasingly appealing.

Consider Social Interaction

You can avoid the adverse effects of spending too much time alone by enrolling your loved one in a Frontier Memory Care Community, where they will have access to many social activities and new friends.
