Loren Shook believed people with Alzheimer's and other memory-impairing diseases were capable of greater engagement with the world and with their loved ones than traditional care facilities were producing. This was not idle thinking; it was based on his experience, literally from childhood, working in psychiatric care hospitals. However, only after he heard Steve Winner advocating similar ideas at a national conference did Loren see a way of putting these theories to the test. It wasn't simple or without risk, because it required that Loren, Steve, and their founding partner, Jim Smith, create a new kind of residential care community that would serve only those with memory-impairing diseases. Today, thousands of families are grateful these Alzheimer's futurists dared to follow their dream. Today, the facts about Silverado's approach speak for themselves: Over 3,300 memory-impaired people who couldn't walk when they came to Silverado have begun to walk again; More than 2,400 of those unable to eat on their own regained that ability; The number of medications Silverado's residents take each day is reduced by as much as 50 percent. Their physical and mental health improves as a result. For professionals, "The Silverado Story" educates and expands awareness. For families with a loved one dealing with memory impairment, "The Silverado Story" inspires and provides practical information on what to look for and what questions to ask. For anyone who enjoys an engaging story of vision and hard work with a very happy ending, "The Silverado Story" delivers--though its real ending is still in the making.… (mais)
