Community-Based Programs
For Those Living With Dementia

Determining which program is best suited for your loved one depends on their individual needs and progression of the disease. We conduct assessments to evaluate their cognitive, physical, and emotional abilities to ensure they are placed in the appropriate program.

While most individuals who attend our program have already been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's disease, it is important to note that there is no "right" time to begin participating in a Passages program.

The decision to attend our program should ultimately be made by the individual experiencing memory loss, as they must be ready and willing to participate in the activities we offer. However, we also understand that caregivers and family members may need respite care, and therefore may encourage their loved one to attend our program. In these cases, we work closely with family members to ensure that the individual feels comfortable and supported in their decision to attend.

Yes, there is a cost associated with our community-based Passages programs, including Memory Connections, Memory Reflections, and Club Gabriel. The cost of our Passages programs reflects the amount of care and support we provide. Our experienced facilitators use evidence-based programming that is continually updated and refined to ensure our participants receive the highest level of care and support.

Passages programs at St. Paul Elder Services are led by a team of highly qualified and trained professionals with extensive experience in memory care. Our team of experts includes licensed therapists, nursing staff, and trained caregivers who work collaboratively to offer evidence-based programming that is tailored to the needs of each individual participant.
