Enhancing Care with Engagement Plans

Category: Memory Care

Author: Lana Samuel, Memory Care Director

An Engagement Plan captures significant details, events, and memories from a person’s life in a personalized narrative. It helps caregivers, family members, and healthcare professionals understand and connect with an individual on a deeper level. By creating an Engagement Plan, we improve the quality of care, making it more person-centered. Personal information enhances communication, providing comfort and a sense of identity for individuals with dementia.

At The Fremont Senior Living, we gather this information as soon as possible, before a resident moves into our Memory Care Neighborhood. As dementia progresses, it often becomes more difficult for residents to communicate their wants, needs, and wishes. These plans help us meet their desires throughout their dementia journey.

We create Engagement Plans tailored to everyone’s likes and needs. These initiatives offer older adults’ opportunities to interact, connect, and engage with others in the community. By implementing various events and programs, we help combat social isolation and improve their overall well-being. Our plans provide a supportive environment where individuals can share experiences, receive emotional support, and build social connections.

To prepare for your loved one’s future care, start noting all the activities they are interested in and encourage them daily.

Start now to prepare for your future and/or the future of your loved ones. Provide detailed information about your background, history, likes, and dislikes. Include what makes you happy, sad, and fearful. Mention any special things that bring you joy and comfort. These Engagement Plans improve caregiving, aid in emotional comfort, and facilitate communication. They also enable those around you to honor your life and ensure you receive personalized and compassionate care. You can find free templates online at legacyproject.org and crisisprevention.com.
