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
“My mom was a resident of Franke Tobey Jones for the last 9 years, first in assisted living and then in memory care. The facility and campus are great, but it is the staff that really makes FTJ exceptional. The CNA’s, activity personnel and nurses treated my mom with kindness and compassion from the very beginning, and became her extended family in her new home. When I would visit, my mom always had a smile on her face, and would say “I really like it here!” The nursing staff was so thoughtful and competent in caring for my mom at the end of her life, and also extended support and empathy to me and my sister, which we greatly appreciated. FTJ is the best, and I can’t say enough good things about it!”
