“The purpose of life – is a life with purpose”

In the Fall of 2015 we began our journey to impact how we approach daily support and care of residents in long-term care. Through an innovative approach that enhances quality of life, Jarlette Health Services committed to a culture change journey with the DementiAbility program.

The DementiAbility approach and philosophy of care focuses on exposing abilities and helping each person in our homes to live with meaning, purpose, joy and dignity. Using an evidence-based approach, the goal is to create homes where people want to live, work and visit.

Each location believes in creating an environment that focuses on abilities rather than impairment, and promotes success for residents living with dementia. In essence, our staff put great effort into preparing and staging the environment around the individuals in our care to ensure that experiences are both meaningful and rewarding every day.
