Environment

Varietas® relies on the things we learn about your loved one to comfort and connect with them in a warm and nurturing environment. Studies show that socialization has a positive impact on seniors and can reduce, even prevent the signs of depression. Each resident’s daily routine consists of their own combination of therapeutic and positive stimulation, including expressive arts, exercise, nutrition, reminiscing, cognitive activities, and social engagement with peers, staff, and families.

Engagement

Psychosocial interventions improve cognitive abilities, enhance emotional well-being, reduce behavioral symptoms and promote everyday functioning. We do this through cognitive stimulation, physical activities, purposeful roles, reminiscent therapy, aromatherapy and music therapy.

Education

Varietas® employees and managers receive Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) certification, which is the highest standard in Alzheimer’s and Dementia education. Training includes:

  • Varietas® Memory Care Training
  • Memory Care Sensitivity Training
  • Evidence-based training that simulates changes associated with cognitive decline.
