Aging And Elder Care On Your Own Terms
Getting older can seem intimidating, but it’s easier and more enjoyable when you think about it as an opportunity for new, wonderful and unique experiences. Our mission is to create an environment where people celebrate the wonder, beauty and perspective of life that comes from aging on their own terms. Aging is the beginning of a wonderful time in one’s life, a chance for new adventures, experiences and opportunities to unleash creativity.
Living with Wonder: Pet Therapy At Miravida Living
Many of us have fond memories of our pets and the pleasure of spending time with them. The shared unconditional love added an important dimension to our lives. Knowing time spent being with a dog or cat brightens everyone’s day, Miravida Living introduced the Noah’s Landing program.
Living With Wonder: How Sensory Experiences Impact Elders
People living with dementia rely heavily on their senses, so at Miravida Living we focus on introducing activities and hobbies that stimulate the senses, revive memories and encourage muscle memory for actions that may have been forgotten. We’re going to look at a few innovations we offer at Miravida Living that stimulate the senses to help our elders live with wonder.
Importance of Intergenerational Relationships
“Connections between generations are essential for the mental health and stability of the nation.” — Margaret Mead
It is proven time and time again that intergenerational friendships create timeless bonds. Studies have shown that intergenerational relationships are important to society, which is one of the many reasons why we encourage them here at Miravida Living. Every year we work with local schools and organizations to promote opportunities to form these relationships.
Tabula Rasa HealthCare at Miravida Living
Miravida Living, a leader in implementing innovative programs and influencing the future of aging, is mid-stream in implementing Tabula Rasa HealthCare.
Tabula rasa means “blank slate” in Latin and is used today to mean “fresh start” or “new beginning.” We have partnered with the Tabula Rasa HealthCare (TRHC) family to provide new beginnings for elders through innovative service models and fresh approaches to health care.
