We believe care is about nurturing the body, mind, and spirit to promote a holistic sense of well-being. Our goal is not just to provide assistance, but to create meaningful moments and foster a vibrant, youthful spirit in those we serve.

What Makes GFC’s Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care Unique?

Our Wellnessmates Approach

We don’t refer to our team as “caregivers”—at GFC, they are Wellnessmates, and here’s why:

Comprehensive Training

Our Wellnessmates undergo specialized training to handle the unique challenges posed by dementia and Alzheimer’s. Each staff member is equipped with the tools and techniques to address a wide range of client needs, ensuring personalized, effective care.

Structured and Purposeful Routines

Every hour our Wellnessmates spend with a client is carefully structured. They implement engaging and purposeful activities tailored to each individual’s cognitive and emotional needs, ensuring their time together is not only productive but enriching.

Mutual Enjoyment

The activities we design aren’t just beneficial for our clients—they’re enjoyable for our Wellnessmates too! This mutual sense of fulfillment creates a positive and energizing environment that fosters deeper connections and promotes overall well-being for both sides.

Motivation and Dedication

With our performance-based bonus system, our Wellnessmates are motivated to consistently deliver their best care. Their clients soon become more than just individuals they assist—they become cherished companions and friends.

Our Unique Approach to Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care

At GFC, we take a proactive approach to managing cognitive decline. By combining life enrichment activities, engaging companionship, and advanced care strategies, we aim to delay or even prevent the progression of conditions such as Alzheimer’s.

The Power of Mental Stimulation

Research shows that staying mentally active can significantly reduce the risk of cognitive decline. A Harvard study found that seniors who engaged in stimulating activities like reading, writing, puzzles, group discussions, and music were 50% less likely to develop mild cognitive impairment compared to those who were less active.

We incorporate these findings into our care plans by offering:

• Cognitive exercises such as memory games, puzzles, and music therapy
• Social engagement through group discussions, storytelling, and interactive activities
• Recreational activities that spark curiosity and creativity, including art, board games, and shared hobbies

Our Wellnessmates are trained to seamlessly integrate these activities into daily routines, ensuring clients stay mentally active and engaged.
