The Original Montessori for Dementia Training®

The Birth of Montessori for Dementia

Many years ago, Dr. Cameron Camp and his colleagues pioneered a mission to bring the Montessori approach to dementia care, transforming senior living by giving residents an active role in their daily lives and meaningful engagement opportunities. The evidence-based results have been remarkable: reduced responsive behaviors and medications, improved sleep, and increased employee retention and community census. This inspiring journey reflects the immense potential for individuals living with dementia to not just exist, but to be a driving force behind their community’s operations and thrive in environments that honor their independence.

Community Credentialing

A Montessori Inspired Lifestyle® Credentialed Community is a seamless, symbiotic combination of your residents and your facility — where residents and staff have a shared investment in creating an environment that goes beyond industry standard expectations across the long-term care market.

Communities that have become credentialed have more engaged residents, more satisfied families, and employees that stay longer. They also win awards for their innovative programming, quality of care, improved outcomes, and community outreach.
