Valeo™ by AgeWell Solvere
Valeo, Latin for “to thrive,” aligns with our Salus™ wellness philosophy and is dedicated specifically to our memory care services. It is specifically
tailored to those living with memory impairment and integrates all facets of a resident’s life in its approach to wellness through the AgeWell Solvere Signature Programs.
Valeo™ Signature Programs
We believe everyone has the right to a joyful and fulfilling life, regardless of physical or mental challenges. This includes individuals living with memory impairments, such as dementia. The belief in joy is intrinsic to Valeo™, as is the importance of creating a strong life that furthers and preserves your legacy.
Our community’s signature memory care program is built on this foundation. It incorporates a holistic wellness philosophy and therapeutic benefits backed by scientific research to improve the well-being of each resident and bring joy to their lives. Every program is customized to each person’s strengths and provides opportunities to engage and pursue individual interests.
Create & Compose
Art and music have long been known for their therapeutic benefits, and recent neurological research shows those benefits may be enhanced for individuals with memory impairments, such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. For example, studies link art and music-based programs with improved cognitive function, as they help the brain compensate for the effects of aging and memory impairments.
Create & Compose encourages residents to take part in programs such as playing music and painting to help them gain these benefits. Program leaders can guide residents through programs or give them the freedom to express themselves as they see fit.
VITA!
Routines can be beneficial to all of us, but the nature of memory impairments makes them even more important to those with various forms of dementia. To someone with memory impairment, a routine is a comforting way to organize their day as it provides purpose and structure.
VITA! builds on that comfort and structure to enhance a routine’s physical and cognitive benefits. Our wellness team members use VITA! to incorporate mental stimulation and physical exercise into residents’ daily routines. Every addition is designed to be fun and engaging so residents begin to see their daily routine as an even more positive part of their lives. As a result, we find that residents who regularly participate in VITA! experience a greater sense of calm throughout their day and are often more focused on positive self-care.
Creature Comforts
Animals are a source of comfort for many, and science has shown that interacting with pets can lower stress levels and provide a strong sense of enjoyment. There is also evidence that bonding with pets can lower rates of heart disease, anxiety, and depression. Creature Comforts brings gentle animals, such as dogs and birds, into our memory care community in Sarasota, Florida, to benefit residents.
During Creature Comforts events, residents can interact with animals in a safe, supportive environment. We encourage residents to connect, as well as share stories of the animals that impacted their lives. As residents share and bond with the animals, we see a greater sense of community among peers and higher levels of engagement.
Legacy Kit
Legacy Kit helps memory care residents and their families build a physical representation of the most important events and interests in their lives. The resident, along with their friends and family, can collect items that hold historical significance, such as photographs, mementos from past experiences, and objects that embody their interests.
As items are collected, new opportunities are created to share stories and experiences, inviting others to be a part of their story.
Travel Times
Individuals living with dementia often find joy, connection, and engagement when they have new experiences with positive places and programs. Travel Times facilitates that by allowing residents to travel to new or familiar places. Each opportunity helps residents disconnect from their daily challenges or stressors and relax, recharge, and focus on the joy in their lives.
