WindSong offers Montessori-style dementia care in Kennewick WindSong at Southridge is a memory care community that has adopted the Montessori-inspired lifestyle as its signature method for delivering exceptionally high quality of life for residents. The programs focus on activities and everyday interactions to reconnect persons with dementia to the outside world. The components of the Montessori environment include signage and cue cards that display schedules and directions. The goal is to create an environment that supports independence and functioning at the highest possible level. The staff at WindSong at Southridge in Kennewick provide purposeful experiences where these individuals are able to use their hands and their five senses to engage and stimulate their minds. This community has been created in a manner that is reflective of the people who live within it. This is done through group activities that residents design, plan and
implement. This is also done through individualized, resident-specific selfcare activities. Residents receive the opportunity to actively participate in what happens in their own lives. It is often assumed that a person with a dementia diagnosis is unable to have new experiences, maintain relationships, or to care for themselves at all. This is simply untrue. They have been told that they “can’t” and have been defined by their limitations. The staff at WindSong at Southridge work to defy these misconceptions by enabling their residents, rather than further disabling them. They ensure the person with dementia is able to actively participate in experiences and enjoy their successes, so their self-esteem increases and they enjoy a sense of accomplishment. This allows residents to reconnect with a world they’re losing access to and is a source of comfort to them and their loved ones.
Please follow WindSong at Southridge on Facebook for information on virtual learning experiences to learn more about this innovative and exciting approach to caring for those with dementia. Sessions will be held via Zoom. We also are happy to provide virtual tours of our community, in keeping with social distancing guidelines. For more information and to RSVP for our “Montessori is our Why Virtual Lunch and Learns,” please contact Becky Lepinski or Drew Percival at 509-202-4327 or email at becky.lepinski@windsongmemory-
care.com. WindSong at Southridge is located at 4000 W 24th Ave. in Kennewick. Additional information can be found on our website: www.windsongmemorycare.com.
