Live like your Own Home
GENTLECARE is a program developed and implemented by Moyra Jones, a long-time advocate for those living with Alzheimer’s disease. In her own words: GENTLECARE is a “system of care that maximizes client function for longer periods, compensates for the dysfunction caused by the disease, and protects the health of family and professional care providers”.
It relies on the PEOPLE, PROGRAMS, and PHYSICAL SPACE, and the interactions between these, as a support of those suffering of this disease.
There is a lot of information on the book, which she published: GENTLECARE: CHANGING THE EXPERIENCE OF ALZHEIMER’S IN A POSITIVE WAY – MOYRA JONES(376 pages, 2000, ISBN-13: 978-0881791716). More, in depth information can be found on her website, https://www.gentlecare.com
In our experience working with elderly, we found that the same principles can be applied to a larger population, not necessarily suffering from this disease.
We are more than happy to talk with you, on how we apply these principles in our daily work, and how this could benefit and enhance the quality of life of your sibling. Please gives a call to schedule a tour and see for yourself why here “It’s like home, only better”.
