ALL ABOUT TRUST: How Montessori’s prepared environment creates a safe space for elderly with dementia
There’s an immense vulnerability when someone we love is gradually losing their memory. It makes us want to be consistently present. It makes us want to do more than what we are already doing.
However, as much as we want to do all these things, we also need someone who understands what our loved ones truly need.
When it comes to learning in a manner that envelopes trust, renowned physician and innovator Dr. Maria Montessori believed that a prepared environment “enables learners to use the abilities they have and to circumvent their deficits.”
Anchored on trust, Montessori activities have been found to be highly effective in improving the overall quality of life of older adults suffering from dementia. Research has also compounded people’s trust on Montessori activities as a means to elevate learning and relearning in the elderly.
A prepared environment offers different kinds of spaces that “allow our elderly loved ones to actively participate in their daily life.” Signages and demonstrations are key when it comes to preparing or designing a prepared environment.
