    • Oasis offers a preventive program. Traditionally, seniors enter the system of care after hospitalization for a fall, injury, serious illness, or mishandling of their medications.
    • The program is a structured school program. The curriculum focuses on socialization, the ability to play interactive social games, learning to retain information, and the execution of manual skills. Groups are small (2-6) and depend on the level of supervision needed.

    • Members can access resources to create a written care plan, identifying appropriate activities and support.

  • What special skills does the staff have that make them a good fit for the job?
    • We closely follow new developments in the field of dementia activities. Our program offers education and ongoing training. This includes the opportunity to obtain an Oasis Certificate, which focuses on learning new modalities to help program members learn new adaptive skills and maintain a level of functionality.
