Participant profile
Is Enrichment Club the right fit?
Our program is designed for adults with dementia who can participate safely in a social day-program setting. This guide can help families understand the level of support we are equipped to provide.
A helpful starting point
A participant may be a good fit if they can…
Every person is different. These practical examples describe abilities that generally work well in our group environment.
Connect and communicate
- Initiate or respond socially, or comfortably wait for others to engage
- Communicate basic needs
- Participate even when finding words or following conversation is difficult
Move safely
- Walk independently or use a mobility device
- Need only occasional support when walking or rising from a chair
Manage daily needs
- Feed themselves, with food cut when needed
- Use the restroom with reminders or limited help getting started
- Use incontinence products appropriately when needed
Safety and group participation
Our program cannot accommodate needs that require ongoing one-to-one care.
For the safety and wellbeing of every participant, Enrichment Club is not equipped for the following levels of support.
Continuous activity support
- One-to-one attention to participate in group activities
- Limited comprehension that prevents participation
- Refusal or inability to join most available activities
Unsafe or disruptive behavior
- Frequent suspicious, aggressive, combative, inappropriate, or unsafe behavior
- Frequent difficulty respecting others’ personal space
- Attempts to leave secure areas
Extensive mobility or personal care
- Frequent support for walking or getting in and out of a chair
- Refusal to use a necessary mobility device
- One-to-one toileting or incontinence assistance
- Blended or mashed food, or assistance with feeding
Frequent emotional distress
- Becoming frequently or easily upset, angry, anxious, or depressed
- Hallucinations that are regularly upsetting
Not sure?
A conversation is the best next step.
This profile is a guide, not a diagnosis or final placement decision. Tell us about your family member’s current abilities, routines, and support needs so we can discuss whether the program may be appropriate.
