A1 People Care Ltd is very proud to be a certified provider of The Ashby Memory Method
The Ashby Memory Method (AMM) is an evidence based, quality of life enrichment program that helps those already experiencing memory loss and early to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. AMM's person centered program of thinking and activity-focused exercises helps people manage their symptoms better and for longer. AMM uses multiple types of interaction and stimulation to match each person's interests and strengths, while promoting personal connection and independence. Click here to find out more.

The AMM program is non-invasive. It is not a drug or medical device, and is completely safe. This means that AMM can always be added to a person’s treatment plan. Unfortunately, Alzheimer's medications don't work for everyone. Some of the most commonly used Alzheimer’s drugs work in less than half the people tested. For those who are helped, the drug's effects often are modest and temporary. While scientists continue to search for more effective drugs the number of people world-wide diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease continues to grow to more than 30 million.

A1 People Care Ltd is very proud to have partnered with the Alzheimer Innovation Institute to bring this ground breaking program to Victoria BC. AMM is designed to be an easy to implement program that offers quality of life benefits for program participants, their families, and caregivers.

Benefits Of The Ashby Memory Method

Improved quality of life-- According to an Alzheimer’s Association study, more than 83% of people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s live at home and are cared for by their family. AMM is a tool that often helps the participant remain living at home longer to enjoy familiar surroundings as well as very important social, community, and family resources.

Reduced caregiver stress-- The #1 reason for initiating a move to institutional (memory) care is caregiver stress resulting from increasing Alzheimer’s symptoms such as personality and behavioural changes. AMM improves symptoms for the person receiving care. Improvements in these symptoms has been shown to decrease caregiver stress in National Institute of Health studies.

Works as a stand alone drug-free program or in combination with prescribed medications-- And while you may want to do some AMM everyday, one hour, twice a week is all that is required.

Care cost savings-- Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease can be expensive. Strategies for the long term management of Alzheimer’s disease include recommendations for delaying institutional care. In an Alzheimer’s Innovation Institute sponsored trial, AMM extended the time that care could be provided at home by more than two years. Better for the person, better for the budget too.
