Ohio Living is working to transform memory care across its service lines through the implementation of industry-leading, holistic approaches like The Heartstone Institute's I'm Still Here(r) program. I'm Still Here(r) leverages environmental adaptations, specialized communication techniques, staff training and life enrichment programs to focus on engagement for people experiencing all levels and types of dementia.
Within our Memory Care Centers of Excellence, employees undergo innovative memory care training in order to extend the highest quality of teamwork-oriented care within specialized environments that cater to people living with dementia. As more robust research emerges about brain health and best practices in dementia care, our teams are equipped with relevant training and resources to help patients manage dementia behaviors and remain as independent as possible. Thoughtful safety protocols like facility layouts that minimize confusion and the promotion of calming therapies to reduce agitation are also top-of-mind.
Tailor-made activities and amenities, like outdoor gardens, also enhance the memory care patient experience. Our memory care areas utilize Behavior-Based Ergonomics Therapy (BBET), which consists of four therapies customized to each individual resident's interests and capabilities, as a complement to group activities: music therapy, video therapy, stimulating therapy and memory prop therapy. Lucynt, an interactive gaming experience, is another active engagement measure our teams use to encourage movement and provide cognitive stimulation.
