About

Our Approach

 

At Sundance Memory Care, we believe when a person is diagnosed with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, it’s the beginning of a new chapter in their story. We’re committed to living that  chapter with them in a way that respects their dignity and gives them the power of choice.

 

 

Our Approach to Demensia Care
The Montessori approach allows us to create engaging activities that residents find rewarding and empowering. People living with dementia can learn new pieces of information, procedures, habits and routines through the Montessori learning style

We Are Passionate About:

  • Living life as a community, together

  • Hands-on learning and Montessori-based activities

  • Learning every resident’s S.T.O.R.Y. and customizing their care

  • Changing the stigma and perceptions Alzheimer’s and dementia
