Our Lifestyle

Living a Montessori-Inspired Lifestyle

Our Montessori Inspired Lifestyle is a person-centered environment where residents know their neighbors, care for each other, collaborate with caregivers to sustain their environment, connect to families and outside communities, and maintain independence. It is a comprehensive program that is used as a philosophy that encompasses the entire manner in which the resident lives.

The Montessori method advocates independence to the greatest extent possible and gives our residents respect and dignity.

In a Montessori Inspired Lifestyle, our residents:

  • Live in an environment that meets their individual needs, physically and emotionally
  • Participate in mutually rewarding intergenerational programs
  • Participate in community decision-making
  • Support each other during illness and loss
  • Enjoy meaningful, engaging visits with family members and friends
  • Sustain their connections to the outside world

In a Montessori Inspired Lifestyle, our staff:

  • Adhere to the Montessori principles of Respect, Independence, and a Prepared Environment.
  • Create and maintain a community that encourages independence and personal freedom.
  • Create unique programming that is designed and adjusted to the individual’s abilities, personal histories, and varied interests.
