Using principles from the DementiAbilility philosophy and Butterfly Model of Care, Lion’s Manor has created a bright and inviting nursery/laundry room to help people living with dementia have a life filled with meaning, purpose, joy, independence, choice and high self-esteem.
The nursery provides a calming environment, promotes the doll therapy program and helps residents reminisce about their past history with children and nurseries.
