Strengthen Care with Science-Backed, Ability-Based Dementia Care

The M.I. Care Survey and Plan™ helps identify preserved abilities and translate them into practical, everyday care strategies.

Grounded in the Preserved Abilities Method™, it provides a clear, structured way to understand what still works—and how to use it to guide communication, engagement, and daily care.

Designed for real-world use, it supports dementia care for professionals by helping teams deliver more consistent, confident, and personalized care.

We offer a range of tiered options to support organizations of varying sizes and needs—from teams beginning with a focused implementation to larger organizations seeking full integration.

Organizations can choose the level of implementation that best fits their goals, with the flexibility to expand over time as they see the impact in practice.

A Better Way to Approach Dementia Care

The M.I. Care Survey and Plan™ isn’t just a tool — it provides a clear, structured way to understand what still works.

Built on the Preserved Abilities Method™, it helps identify retained abilities and translate them into practical strategies for communication, engagement, and daily care.
