A dementia diagnosis typically comes with feelings of fear, shame, loss, and the amount of advice that people will receive can be overwhelming. Alumia brings together current research, best practices, and a flexible and monitored curriculum for people living with early-stage dementia.
We have done the research and we know the science.
Attending to the whole person
Our daily therapies are a robust combination of science and best practices based on the latest research. We stay current with continuous research on dementia trials, studies, and publications to identify the latest methods used to stimulate cognitive function. We integrate our therapy program with monthly assessments to provide insights into your patient’s cognitive function, which are shared with our Members, their families, and their healthcare team.
Discovery
Each individual is different. We evaluate the potential benefit of our Kynemics program for your patients through an initial discovery meeting and a visit to our campus.
Curriculum
Our curriculum consists of a daily rotation of art, music, movement, education, and brain training sessions during the hours of 9:00 am and 3:00 pm. Nutritious meals based on the MIND Diet will be provided between sessions.
Assessments
We provide enrollment, monthly and quarterly assessments for each Member. They are a combination of industry-standard assessments, proprietary cognitive evaluation software, and Alumia Staff observations.
Enrollment
Alumia’s 4 step enrollment process includes pre-screening and cognitive assessments to ensure that your patients are appropriate candidates for Alumia’s services and that we can provide for their needs.
Resources & Best Practices
Every element of our program has been researched to provide the latest therapies and assessment methods for our Members. We provide summaries of this research and access to additional studies in our Insights Book for Members and their families. Below are a few articles referenced in our Insight Book.
