Our deepest hope is that our work demonstrates the importance of society’s need to change its perceptions about dementia. 

When we say “Love > dementia” we mean that THEIR love (the person living with dementia) is greater than their condition.

Look at these photos from a simple scene during a meal time.

If you didn’t know that Bella Groves was a dementia care and education company, you might believe that it’s just a bunch of gal pals getting together for dinner and conversation. 

Well… that’s precisely what’s going on.

We reduce friction, obstacles and barriers to help our residents shine. We are not “managing dementia.” We understand and study how dementia can create challenges and we work hard to remove those challenges. 

Often times, the greatest barrier for their light isn’t dementia itself. It is our (caregivers’) response to their dementia. 

We aim to normalize life with dementia. 

Our residents are not “patients”. They are our instructors. 

LOVE is greater… 💜

Thank you for all you do.

In senior communities that support people living with dementia, there’s a pretty common “activity” that people see - coloring.

We think there’s a right way to do this and a less effective way.

First, the right perspective of WHY this is helpful. Therapeutic activities only achieve this level when you facilitate them with intentionality.

This activity can boost mood, improve or maintain motor functions, give people a sense of accomplishment, and increase confidence. 

It’s not a “pass the time” activity and a substitute for engaged care support.

🟢 use appropriate prints based on what is enjoyable for the person (ex: large image or more intricate)

🟢 use appropriate materials for their ease and appropriate levels of challenge (colored pencils vs marker) Crayons typically don’t feel age appropriate and are easily associated as “for kids” and can turn off a person from the activity. 

🟢 Treat the activity as simply that - an activity. Encouragement could unintentionally be perceived as childlike. How “good” they’re doing is not the point. Engage in light conversation or socialize about something else. 

🟢 Join the activity yourself. Normalize the activity by engaging in it. You may receive all the therapeutic benefits too! 

For our residents, in this particular example, they found it enjoyable because others were doing it. The social aspect of the activity allowed for the therapeutic elements to shine through. 

You can see by their expressions that the intent translated to outcome. 💜
There’s never been a better day than on Valentine’s to say: 

LOVE > Dementia

Happy Valentine’s everyone, from the Bella Groves crew! 

Both buildings 1 and 2 had celebrations in their own way with our sweet team!

A true milestone for Bella Groves! We are proud to share the promotion of three of our team members to lead positions on the care team.

Amber and Ariel have been recognized for their outstanding contributions to the Bella Groves approach!  As Lead Care Partners, they will each lead their respective shifts in improving our overall communication, coordination and team work work for our care teams.

Heather is part of our 2+ year crew and has grown so much in her knowledge of dementia. In her role as Dementia Education Assistant, she will work closely with Kayla (our Director of Dementia Programs and Education) to support our training initiatives for all of our care partners at Bella Groves.

These team members represent our values and ideals as an organization, and we are delighted to support them in these newfound leadership roles. 

Congratulations Amber, Ariel and Heather!!!

What is “Looping” and How Does It Impact Communication in Dementia Care?

Effective communication is a key pillar of providing meaningful care for people living with dementia. When words become harder to process, and memories become fragmented, finding ways to truly connect is essential. One powerful strategy that has been gaining attention is “looping,” a compassionate communication technique tailored for dementia care. Looping enables a deeper understanding,…

Putting Ourselves in Their Shoes

After completing her final project following our 13-week dementia training, Amber worked with me to put together a blog inspired by her experience as a care partner at Bella Groves.
