Dementia Care

Bethany’s capacity, partnerships, integrated services and holistic approach means we are a strong provider of care for individuals with dementia.

Caring Communities for Seniors with Dementia

Guided by our holistic approach, we have created partnerships and developed integrated services that have shaped us into being a leading provider of care for individuals with dementia. Our sites include spaces and residences specifically designed to meet the need of persons in mid-to-late stages of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

Creating caring communities for seniors with dementia is one of our top priorities. We believe in an interdisciplinary approach to dementia care including physical, spiritual, emotional and social programming. Bethany practices leadership in dementia care by supporting staff through education initiatives that are unmatched by most continuing care providers.

Our faith-based approach is a true differentiator for caring for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

Complex Dementia Care (CDC) Program

Bethany Care Society is a unique provider of highly specialized care for dementia residents. The complex dementia care program is meant to be temporary, with the average length of stay being 6 to 18 months.

Our care is delivered differently, and firmly grounded in evidence-based best practices and innovation in dementia care. All employees participate in highly specialized training courses including Gentle Persuasive Approaches in Dementia Care (GPA) and P.I.E.C.E.S.^TM, which is a holistic, care partner-directed model.

Moving away from a traditional care model, we provide our residents with opportunities for moments of joy and purpose, creating a calm, peaceful state of being.

Nutrition

At Bethany, our cooks and nutritionists follow Canada’s Food Guide to ensure healthy, balanced meals and snacks. Our residents have diverse tastes, so we work to provide a variety of ethnic dishes and international foods to celebrate special events. Residents’ families are invited to prepare and bring in food for their loved ones, and to stay and enjoy meals together in our family dining rooms.

Resident Safety

Resident safety is our priority. We consider individual resident safety requirements and needs in determining placement within our care units. Safety and security are key components of our comprehensive care plan developed for residents in supportive and long-term care. All staff must follow the Protection for Persons in Care Act.

We monitor our staff and processes to ensure resident safety and the highest possible standard of care. Abuse or neglect in any way is not tolerated.
