January 2024, Solon, Ohio—Center for Applied Research in Dementia (CARD) is proud to mark the beginning of the new year with a remarkable achievement—the credentialing of the 100th Montessori Inspired Lifestyle® community. This significant milestone highlights the enduring partnerships that CARD has fostered with its esteemed communities (explore the communities here.) The growing reception of the innovative Montessori Inspired Lifestyle® model is paving the way for more communities to adopt this transformative approach and reap the benefits of empowering their staff with new perspectives.

Dr. Cameron Camp, the visionary Founder of CARD and originator of the Montessori approach for dementia care, shares, “More senior care organizations are starting to realize you can have your cake and eat it too. Let’s talk about reducing insurance costs, falls, and staff injuries. Let’s talk about better marketing. Would you like a full census? This is a better business model.”

The Bronze-level (49% of total), Silver-level (16% of total), and Gold-level (35% of total) prestigious communities have achieved their status through their unwavering dedication to the Montessori Inspired Lifestyle®. This evidence-based method of dementia care draws inspiration from Dr. Montessori’s pioneering learning techniques. To delve deeper into the milestones accomplished by our communities, click here.
