The person-centred care difference

SPARK: Memory Living by Optima is rooted in person-centred care, which draws on our years of experience, knowledge of clinical best practices, and evidence-based research. The Aster Gardens Memory Living Neighbourhoods provide 24 hours of supervised attention, care, and support.

Person-centred care is more than just words; it is a lived experience. It is based on values, compassion, empathy, respect, love, and dignity. Its essence is woven into each of the four themes of our Memory Living Program: Home, Holistic, Meaningful Relationships, and Quality of Care.
