Individual dementia care plans are tailored for each resident

Individual Care Plans

Individual care plans are tailored for each resident at Cedarhurst. They include therapies, techniques, and activities, including stimulation to maximize the functioning and independence of the resident in the areas of physical, cognitive, sensory and social abilities. This individual care plan monitors resident safety and well being, while promoting quality of life

In addition, communication strategies and active but gentle interventions to address challenging (responsive) behaviours are incorporated in order to manage the ongoing care of each resident.

Personal Care

Staff will encourage residents to do as much of their own personal care as they are able to manage. Staff will assist with personal care that includes bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting and with medications as needed. Lifelong routines are respected and accommodated.

Activation

Activation, specifically designed to cognitively and socially stimulate residents is provided everyday by trained activationists. Individual, small and large activities such as games, gardening, a range of musical offerings, discussions, outings, as well as programs to support memory and cognitive functioning are built into daily life at Cedarhurst. Residents are encouraged to be as involved in the activities of daily living as they are able.

Therapy

There is a variety of therapeutic activity at Cedarhurst including physiotherapy, activation, and pet therapy when families bring in pets of their own. In a nutshell, our program builds upon a resident’s residual strengths and encourages maximum choice and independence.
