Alzheimers Disease and Related
Dementia Treatment The Erie Cottage of the Home provides
specialized services for those with Alzheimers Disease and related
dementias. Erie houses the EAGLE (Enhancing and Accommodating Growth
in a quality Living Environment) treatment program, a unique in-house
program modeled after adult day services in the community. It runs seven
days a week and into the evening hours.
The program module includes a balance of cognitive and physical
activities of daily living, psycho-social and self-expression components.
It follows a structured format while allowing enough flexibility to
accommodate the attention span of the participants. Staff report improvement
in resident functioning in several areas, including decreased agitation
during program hours and increased participation in activities of daily
living including social interactions with others.
