Caring Hands Interaction

Dementia may change the journey,
but it does not change the soul.

MONTISSORI APPROACH

​The Montessori approach focuses on promoting independence, dignity, and engagement through meaningful activities. Creating a supportive and structured environment, caregivers can encourage individuals to participate in tasks aligning with their interests and abilities. This person-centered method not only focuses on cognitive functioning but also fosters a sense of belonging and purpose, allowing seniors to thrive in daily lives. Embracing the Montessori philosophy can lead to more joyful and fulfilling experiences for both seniors and their caregivers.

Lakeside Memory Neighborhood is a nonprofit initiative led by healthcare professionals,
community leaders, and family advocates who have witnessed firsthand the challenges
of dementia care.

The need for high-quality dementia care in Lakeside is growing -- Families often face:

  • Limited care options

  • Institutional environments that feel impersonal

  • Few programs focused on dignity and quality of life

We believe people living with dementia deserve:

  • A real home

  • Meaningful daily life

  • Safety without loss of identity

  • Connection to community and family

Our model focuses on what people can do, not what they have lost.

  • Small-scale, home-like living (10 residents)

  • Private rooms with en-suite bathrooms

  • Ability-focused, Montessori-inspired care

  • Purposeful daily routines and meaningful activities

  • Safe environment without confinement

  • Respite care and Day Programs

  • Shared spaces that encourage connection, independence, and dignity

  • This is not a facility. It is a home and a neighborhood of care.

forget me nots

Forget-me-nots are small, delicate blue flowers known for their symbolism of remembrance and lasting connection and an Alzheimer’s awareness symbol.  Common meanings include: Remembrance, True love, Faithfulness and Memory of loved ones.

​

A popular European legend says a knight gathering flowers for his beloved fell into a river and threw the bouquet to her shouting “Forget me not!”
