What is Alzheimer's?
- Alzheimer’s is a degenerative brain disease brought about by cell damage in the brain.

The Care & Rehab - Ostrander Minnesota Memory Care Approach
Music Therapy
Recent research has shown that music can have encouraging, positive benefits for residents experiencing dementia symptoms such as an increase in mood stability and cognitive functions.
Animal Assisted Therapy
We have a therapy dog, a Golden Retriever named Arthur, who frequently visits all of the residents and show them all the love he has. According to recent studies, AAT has shown to potentially reduce by a significant amount of loneliness in residents of long-term care facilities.
Community Benefits
Research shows that social relationships profoundly affect mental and physical health. According to the 2016 US Census, one in five adults age 65-74 live alone, while 4 in 10 of those aged 85 and older live alone. People are social by nature, and when they are deprived of an essential component of life, it can have very adverse effects. We know that living in a community with others has a significant impact on the mental health of patients that cannot be minimized.
Ecotherapy
Otherwise known as nature therapy, ecotherapy has shown to improve mental and physical health. Even if it is just going for a short walk through our beautiful parks and landscape, we realize the benefits ecotherapy can have on Memory Care residents.
Sensory Stimulation Therapy
We believe that activating the senses, a Memory Care resident can achieve a wide range of positive effects. From the smell of flowers or the touch of certain surfaces will lead to invigorating senses. The positive effects that come from this include improved memory functions, increased focus, better sleep, and a decrease in anxiety..
