Part of the CALM™ Program’s unique approach is treating each individual at his or her specific point of need.

Using aromatherapy focuses specific attention to and treatment of the individual for his or her state of mind at that moment, whether it is agitation, anxiety or lack of appetite.

Aromatherapy and sensory stimulation programs have been documented to improve the cognitive abilities of residents with dementia, as well as increase the overall wellbeing of the individual.

The goals of CALM™ Program practitioners are to enhance the quality of life of the resident and focus on his or her needs rather than the disease.

Aromatherapy treatment has generated gratifying results, documented most recently in a program at East Carolina University. Families and caregivers in the test facilities noted significant cognitive improvement in residents being treated with aromatherapies, resulting in marked improvement in sundowner syndrome, improved ability to complete tasks without direction and reduced agitation.

The step you’ve taken in deciding to implement the CALM™ Program at your community is one that will reward your residents, their families and your staff.
