GENTLECARE®
For more than two decades, Delta View has maintained a no restraint policy within our facilities. We have also maintained what we call a "hugs, not drugs" policy, having proven repeatedly that removing sources of patient fear and anxiety has in many instances produced better behavioral results than medication. These and other treatment protocols are prescribed by the GENTLECARE® program, in which our staff are professionally trained.
The GENTLECARE® philosophy focuses on adjusting the organizational environment in which the resident with dementia must operate, then developing a supportive living space to accommodate the resident in their current functional stage. It avoids challenging residents to adapt or perform in ways that are no longer possible. |
