At Almost Like Home, we incorporate principles from the Myers Research Institute into our activities program. Montessori-Based Dementia Programming® (MBDP) is an innovative method of working with older adults living with cognitive and/or physical impairments based on the method and philosophy of famed educator, Maria Montessori. The research at Myers has shown MBDP to increase levels of engagement and participation in activities of persons with Alzheimer's or dementia.

Our activities staff uses MBDP materials and concepts as a way to engage our residents in a variety of activities. Activities that residents may participate in include movement and creative projects, reading and discussion groups, puzzles and games, gardening, walks and picnics when the weather permits. Birthdays and other special occasions are celebrated in an extended family atmosphere. Family members and friends are always welcome to join us!
