New Brunswick Dementia Care Decision Guide
Dear Caregiver,
Re: Important Instructions On How To Access Your Free Guide
Do you have a loved one who is suffering from Dementia?
Have you felt the pain of watching them disappear into themselves, right before your own eyes?
Have they stopped recognizing you, or worse… started speaking to you in a way that is out of character for them?
Do you feel helpless as you struggle to care for them?
You are not alone. And you have come to the right place.
Thousands of families in New Brunswick share your pain. But a select few of these. families have discovered a well kept secret. Many describe this secret as life changing…and even transformative. And best of all, it’s right here in New Brunswick.
Dementia is a cruel beast, but research is finding more ways to bypass this beast’s chains –for those who are willing to take the time to understand.
European Methods
The specialists at ProTem Memory Care in Moncton offer a unique form of dementia care, based on neuroscience research. Their small home model is the only one of its kind in Atlantic Canada. Their innovative approach was developed in Europe many years ago and brought to Canada by ProTem
When you visit ProTem’s homes, you’ll be amazed at how different they feel compared to traditional “nursing homes”. There are no long dreary hallways and no institutional feel. ProTem’s homes feel like actual homes. Because they are. Each house is home to only 10 residents and they have real kitchens, living rooms and beautiful secure gardens.
Best In Class Caregivers
What will shock you the most when you visit ProTem is the atmosphere. The bilingual caregivers at ProTem view their roles as more of a calling than a job. By giving close friendship and companionship to patients with dementia, rather than just physical maintenance, they demonstrate that the dying mind can come alive again. These close and caring relationships reduce anxiety, frustration, and loss of memory.
By using music and art, and sometimes dance, the resident is given access to their emotional memory –in the amygdala and hippocampus areas of the brain – which is in a different part of the brain than episodic memory, so it continues to function for much longer. And by highlighting emotional memories the elder who has lost language may suddenly find it again. And express herself.
