Celebrating 29 years of
Spirit-Centered Care:
Elderwise is Recognized Nationally
Mission Statement
Our mission is to enrich the lives of caregivers and adults living with dementia through teaching and demonstrating the Elderwise philosophy and practice of Spirit-Centered Care.
Spirit-Centered Care
Spirit-Centered Care® honors the essence of who we are and recognizes that a person is whole regardless of physical or cognitive changes. This guiding philosophy helps Elderwise facilitators to have meaningful interactions with our program participants and provides opportunities for more joyful connection between adults with dementia and their families.
ArtFull Dementia
ArtFull Dementia celebrates the creativity, vibrancy, and wholeness of adults living with dementia. Explore a gallery of artwork created by Elderwise program participants, learn about the artists, and bring a piece of Elderwise home by purchasing art to directly support the continuation of Elderwise programming.
Vision Statement
Our vision is for widespread recognition of the intrinsic value of each person and their capacity to live
a rich and joyful life, regardless of their cognitive or physical condition.
Elderwise Teaching Modules
The Elderwise training program teaches professional and personal care partners how to use the fundamentals of Spirit-Centered Care® to become more comfortable caring for vulnerable elders. You will learn how to work from your own essence, create calm and enriching moments, and make your interactions more joyful, meaningful, and empowering for all involved.
Elderwise Day Program
Elderwise offers expressive Adult Day Programs at the Memory Hub in Seattle, Temple de Hirsch Sinai in Bellevue and now Full Life Care in Ravenna! Participants in the day program benefit from respectful and nurturing care while enjoying arts, stimulating exchange, and social engagement.
