Recognizing each resident’s unique experience with dementia, we adapt our approach through the Six Dimensions of Engagement to provide social connection through validation, physical engagement with purposeful tasks, cognitive stimulation honoring long-term memories, emotional support, meaningful roles, and creative fulfillment.
