A Customized Engagement Experience Through Daily Programming

Staying active and mentally engaged supports your loved one’s well-being throughout their dementia journey. At Clare Bridge, we use thoughtful tools and personalized programming to make each day meaningful.

Here’s how we tailor our approach:

First, we assess current strengths and level of support. Then, we bring together individuals with similar abilities and interests to form small groups. From there, we create personalized programs that build confidence and encourage meaningful connection.
Our Daily Path programming brings structure and engagement seven days a week, with at least six small-group programs each day. Examples include:
- Mental: Brain games through our signature BrainFit program, musical opportunities to engage in the power of memory and music, iConnect technology for engagement, associate-led social opportunities, family scrapbook with Family Connect
- Physical: Daily exercise program with B-Fit, including walking, gardening and chair yoga, community-led outings, pet visits and therapy where offered
- Spiritual: Meditation, reflection, singing, weekly worship gatherings and nature walks
