Improving the quality of life for seniors with Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Alzheimer’s disease and dementia constitute the 6th leading cause of death in the United States today, with an estimated 6 million older adults diagnosed. Every 65 seconds someone in the United States is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia with more than 5.8 million currently living with it (Alzheimer’s Association). A proven and successful approach to memory care is the SAIDO® Learning Program, offered exclusively at Covenant Living.

SAIDO Learning was developed by the Kumon Institute of Education in Osaka, Japan and is a nonpharmacological program based on a learning intervention. It offers mental exercises and an opportunity for enhancing individual engagement with staff and others in everyday life. The goal of SAIDO Learning is to not only provide care for individuals with dementia, but to improve their quality of life through intentional engagement opportunities. SAIDO does not just treat the symptoms of dementia, SAIDO changes the whole person, which is why Covenant Learning believes in our partnership.
