The office of the Seniors Advocate released their Residential care survey results for the Province of British Columbia. While much good work is being done in care facilties here, the results and recommendations make it clear that what is needed is a Montessori view of engagement with residents.
The survey does not address the needs of those with dementia still living at home.
The survey confirmed our understanding of the need for Montessori vision and practice to be applied to the caring of those with dementia, both at home and in facilities.
