About Center for Applied Research in Dementia

The Center for Applied Research in Dementia® (CARD) is grounded in applied research centered on Montessori principles. Dedicated to transforming the long-term care sector through education and guidance, CARD focuses on treating dementia as a disability rather than a disease. By training care staff to recognize strengths, personalize activities and spaces, identify meaningful roles within communities, understand responsive behaviors, and maintain independence using “cognitive ramps” for activities of daily living (ADLs), CARD aims to revolutionize dementia care.

“Everything you do for me, you take away from me.” – Dr. Maria Montessori
