Montessori for Aging & Dementia research shows that residents need 30–90 minutes of hands-on, person-centered engagement each day to support mood, reduce anxiety, and increase participation.
Gift of Enrichment offers Person-Centered Dementia Activity Consulting, including 30–60 minute morning and afternoon programs built around activity categories, recommended activities and materials, and stage-appropriate engagement strategies. This structure helps residents feel more confident and successful, while giving your team simple, consistent tools for meaningful daily engagement. Families will appreciate seeing their loved ones involved in activities that match their personal interests.
