ABBY is a non-pharmaceutical, activity-based approach to managing responsive behaviors in persons living with moderate to severe levels of dementia.
ABBY augments the care environment by providing ambient (available in the environment for easy access) activity experiences available to residents on a 24/7 basis.
ABBY helps to manage responsive behaviours by providing opportunities for residents to engage in, and interact with personalized experiences (touches, music and sounds, personal images) familiar and meaningful to the resident, to attain a state of calm.
ABBY helps to mitigate caregiver stress and burden. Care providers, including RTs, PSWs, and family members have an opportunity to interact positively with residents using an easy to acess wall mounted tool.
ABBY enhances the visitor experience by providing familiar and effective memory triggers that allow family members to interact more meaningfully with a loved one.
