Mindful Connections
Mindful Connections is a Sequoia Care program for residents at various stages of Alzheimer’s and other dementias, including early onset, intermediate, and moderate stages. This program adapts seamlessly with residents as their disease progresses.
We utilize Claudia Allen’s Cognitive Disabilities Model to determine what stage of dementia a person is functioning at. We use the standardized test to establish communication strategies, optimize daily living routines, and organize the environment to support their needs. The caregiving team is then able to modify and adapt strategies to support the individual as their needs change.
Mindful Connections is founded on the premise of enhancing what residents can still do rather than focusing on what they can no longer do.
