Life at Cornerstone

We use the word “expressions” to describe the behavioral shifts that people living with dementia will often show. Some of the most common expressions are aggression, pacing and exit-seeking, disruptive vocalization, hoarding, nudity, and hallucinations.

When an individual’s communication is limited, knowing how to interpret an expression can provide key insights for meeting all of their physical and emotional needs.

Whether a resident is experiencing fear, boredom, fatigue, coping with a change in medication, or feeling sensitive to environmental triggers such as light level and noise level, we’re here to help. Even the slightest modifications can make a world of difference.

Holistic Solutions

Whether a resident is experiencing fear, boredom, fatigue, coping with a change in medication, or feeling sensitive to environmental triggers such as light level and noise level, we’re here to help. Even the slightest modifications can make a world of difference.

What’s more, we embrace resident-directed care. We encourage independence, and we’re always striving to better understand an individual’s preferences.

Rather than intervene when challenges arise, we help residents seek to explore their present strengths and feelings. Occasionally this means introducing a new activity that deters from an “expression.” We’re here to alleviate our residents’ stress and guide them toward pleasure—and that only happens by having a truly personalized and relationship-based approach.
