"The Varietas unit is absolutely awesome! The entire staff, unit manager, nurses, aides, coordinators, everyone is so caring and attentive [...] The entire staff at Traditions of Lebanon, from intake to occupancy, is wonderful; I highly recommend this facility. I am thankful my father is in good hands and I truly appreciate each and every one of them!" — Pam C.
The Varietas® Program is a model of care for individuals with Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias. Its tenets are proven to maximize the quality of life for these disorders. The Program relies on what we learn about your loved one to comfort and connect with them in a warm and nurturing environment.
Psychosocial interventions improve cognitive abilities, enhance emotional well-being, reduce behavioral symptoms, and promote everyday functioning. We do this through mental stimulation, cognitive training, reminiscent therapy, aromatherapy, and music therapy.
Varietas® staff members undergo specialized training, meet detailed requirements, and have applied for regular certification through the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners (NCCDP). The Certified Dementia Practitioner® (CDP®) program recognizes the need for standards in the area of Alzheimer's and dementia education and helps to improve the services provided by healthcare professionals and frontline staff. A state-of-the-art security system also allows residents to live independently while remaining within the comfort of a safe and secure environment.
Studies show that socialization has a positive impact on seniors and can reduce, even prevent the signs of depression. So, each resident's Daily Routine consists of their own combination of therapeutic and positive stimulation, including expressive arts, exercise, nutrition, reminiscing, cognitive activities, and social engagement with peers, staff, and families.
