Montessori: The Aged Care Holy Grail

Sub-titled ‘Changing the world of Older People including those living with dementia’,  this presentation shows the positive outcomes associated with implementing a Montessori model. Based on residents’ strengths, needs and abilities, Montessori enables, enhances and enriches lives, giving everybody a reason to get out of bed every day.

Anne Kelly has worked extensively in dementia care both residential and community for the past 30 years. In 2009 she was awarded a Churchill Fellowship to study Montessori methods for Dementia Care. She is currently the Managing Director of Montessori Aged Support Services.
