The Montessori Alzheimer’s Project (“MAP”) is a collaborative effort designed to support dementia patients and their caregivers. It is designed to have application at home as well as in institutional facilities that are also part of the caregiving network.
By bringing together the experience of its founders in both dementia care and Montessori Education, MAP provides strategies to assist individuals with dementia in their daily lives at home or in facilities. Implementing Montessori’s vision of prepared environments, MAP has put together both guidance and guidelines of kindness in action that is targeted to easing the dementia journey.
