For those living with dementia and Alzheimer’s, connections in everyday moments are crucial. At Ovation Sienna Hills, we understand the significance of these connections and have developed the Ovation Connections™ program to support our residents in meaningful ways.
Our program offers a holistic and engaging experience for residents, focusing on their social, physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Here’s what your loved one can experience daily with our specialized memory care program in St. George, Utah.
TACTILE THERAPY
Using sensory boxes and puzzles, we engage residents in tactile activities that stimulate their senses and help maintain fine motor skills. These activities are not only enjoyable but also therapeutic, promoting a sense of accomplishment and joy.
ART THERAPY
Art therapy allows residents to express themselves creatively while improving their motor skills. Through various art projects, residents can explore their emotions, foster a sense of identity, and enjoy the calming effects of artistic expression.
MUSIC THERAPY
Music has the power to evoke emotions and memories. Our music therapy sessions inspire calm feelings and enhance memory recall, offering residents a comforting and enjoyable way to connect with their past.
GROUP ACTIVITIES
Social interaction is crucial for mental and emotional health. Our group activities bring neighbors together, fostering a sense of community and belonging. Whether it’s a group game, a shared meal, or a collaborative project, these activities help build strong social bonds.
PET VISITS
Pets can provide comfort and joy. Our pet visits help alleviate anxiety and loneliness, offering residents with dementia the companionship and unconditional love that animals freely offer.
VALIDATION THERAPY
Validation therapy emphasizes emotion rather than facts, helping residents feel heard and understood. By validating their feelings and experiences, we create a supportive and empathetic environment that promotes emotional well-being.
TECHNOLOGY ACTIVITIES
Introducing residents to technology can be both exciting and empowering. Through activities that involve learning new skills, we help residents stay engaged and connected with the modern world, boosting their confidence and cognitive abilities.
THERAPEUTIC HORTICULTURE
Gardening and interacting with nature have proven therapeutic benefits. Our horticulture activities improve motor skills, reduce depression, and provide a sense of purpose and achievement as residents nurture plants and watch them grow.
CIRCADIAN LIGHTING
Proper lighting can significantly impact sleep patterns and overall health. Our circadian lighting system promotes better sleep and boosts the immune system, helping residents feel more rested and healthier.
CONNECTIONS
Scents can evoke powerful memories and provide comfort. Our aroma therapy sessions use pleasant scents to create a soothing atmosphere, enhancing residents’ emotional well-being and cultivating a calm environment.
SPECIALLY TRAINED FOR DEMENTIA CARE
Our residents with Alzheimer’s benefit from having employees who have experienced the reality of living with dementia.
Our employees undergo specialized training through Dementia Live, an immersive experience that deeply affects hearing, vision, and emotions. This impactful training helps our employees gain a profound understanding of our residents’ daily challenges, enabling them to deliver an elevated level of care.
SUPPORTING FAMILIES THROUGH THE JOURNEY
We understand that dementia affects not only the individuals living with it but also their families. That’s why our Ovation Connections™ program includes resources and support groups to help families navigate the challenges of dementia at all stages. We are committed to supporting connections with our residents and their loved ones, providing a network of care and understanding.
PERSONALIZED CARE FOR EVERY RESIDENT
One of the many benefits of our Ovation Connections™ memory care program is the personalized care plans we create for each resident. Our goal is to enhance their quality of life and provide a nurturing environment where they can thrive.
At Ovation Sienna Hills, we believe in the power of connections. Through our comprehensive and compassionate approach, we strive to make every moment meaningful for our residents, helping them live with dignity, joy, and purpose.
