Many thanks to Jo Ann, who alerted me to the GentleCare philosophy of dementia care: I'd heard about it, but forgotten about it entirely.
Here's a link to the Toronto Homes for the Aged brochure, giving information on the gentlecare philosophy: an approach that aims to respect the individuality of each resident in an advanced care Alzheimer's facility. It might be worth inquiring, when scouting out a long-term care facility, whether or not the facility adheres to the GentleCare philosophy. Many residences post this on their websites.
