Looking for a fresh, empowering way to support those living with dementia? The Montessori Approach to Dementia offers a transformative method that helps individuals regain lost skills, learn new ones, and maintain their independence. When applied correctly, this approach allows carers to do less, fostering self-reliance and enabling individuals to take a more active role in their lives.
