A Montessori-Inspired Approach to Memory Care
In late 2022, we introduced a new and dynamic approach to engaging residents through Montessori-Inspired Memory Care Programming. While traditionally used in early education, the Montessori method has proven incredibly effective for individuals with dementia.
This evidence-based model uses:
- Sensory experiences and hands-on activities to stimulate memory
- Opportunities to reconnect with positive emotions and meaningful memories
- Purposeful tasks that empower residents and highlight their strengths

Resident Daughter's Review
5 stars
"Our mother resided at Franke Tobey Jones for nearly 9 years. From the dining staff to the nurses and aides to the administrative, maintenance and cleaning crew who saw her on a daily basis, she was always treated with respect, kindness and affection. They were like family to her. We were confident that she was safe, happy and cared for. And we were amazed by the close attention she received. Her comfort and medical needs in her later years were a top priority. This gave her peace of mind and did the same for her family. We are so thankful we chose Franke Tobey Jones."
