Senior GEMS®

A Guide for Families Living with Dementia

The Senior GEMS®, created by Senior Helpers®, is a method used to provide effective strategies for support and care for all levels of Dementia - from normal aging through late stage dementia.

​

Through Senior GEMS®, we are able to focus on what is precious and unique about each senior.

Changes take place as their disease progresses, but by taking a positive approach to care and using strategies that work, Senior Helpers can help your loved one continue to live a purposeful life at home.

The Senior GEMS® was created by Senior Helpers in conjunction with Teepa Snow, Occupational Therapist and Dementia Care Expert.  They based the Senior GEMS® on the Allen Cognitive Scale and established levels of Dementia as "gems" - because people living with Dementia are "special and unique and need special care to shine." 

Senior Helpers uses The Senior GEM® techniques, strategies, and overall positive approach when training Care Partners who assist people living with Dementia to experience meaningful days and moments of joy.
