Specialization
- offers specialized services for clients with Alzheimer's
disease and related dementias customized to a person’s
skills, background, interests and abilities. * staffing levels and physical
environment allow programming to take place in smaller groups and at the
most appropriate level to the individual client’s abilities.
Unable to accommodate clients who are medically unstable or require a high level of nursing care * aggression toward
other clients or staff that cannot be mitigated by best practice
approaches may lead to temporary or permanent discharge from the
program * Some behaviors that cause distress to other program participants that cannot be mitigated by
staff interventions may also result in discharge * clients who
have minimal or no ability to bear any weight will be assessed on an
individual basis to determine if their needs can be met by the program.
