An Engagement Plan captures significant details, events, and memories from a person’s life in a personalized narrative. It helps caregivers, family members, and healthcare professionals understand and connect with an individual on a deeper level. By creating an Engagement Plan, we improve the quality of care, making it more person-centered. Personal information enhances communication, providing comfort and a sense of identity for individuals with dementia.
At Carriage Court Senior Living, we gather this information as soon as possible, before a resident moves into our Memory Care Neighborhood. As dementia progresses, it often becomes more difficult for residents to communicate their wants, needs, and wishes. These plans help us meet their desires throughout their dementia journey.

Our Engagement Plan is a vital tool we use to gather detailed information about the residents in our community. This tool is designed to be living and evolving, adapting as we learn and discover changes during their journey.
This resource is crucial for driving person-centered care. We seek information about likes and dislikes, culinary preferences, and care needs. Understanding who we are serving allows us to provide routine, empowerment through care, and meaningful engagement.
Communication is key to preparing for your loved one’s future care. Everyone has a voice in their loved one’s care, and we strive for the best possible outcome. We encourage families to be active advocates, offering feedback and suggestions. Open communication between families and the community is essential. It allows us to discuss what works and what doesn’t and to explore new approaches as needs evolve.
Start now to prepare for your future and/or the future of your loved ones. Provide detailed information about your background, history, likes, and dislikes. Include what makes you happy, sad, and fearful. Mention any special things that bring you joy and comfort. These Engagement Plans improve caregiving, aid in emotional comfort, and facilitate communication. They also enable those around you to honor your life and ensure you receive personalized and compassionate care. You can find free templates online at legacyproject.org and crisisprevention.com.
