Ambient

Ambient is a company specializing in care services for people with Alzheimer's and dementia. The company's approach to care is centered around creating a "home from home" atmosphere for residents, utilizing a feelings-based methodology and their proprietary LIVES well framework. Ambient's care model focuses on removing barriers between staff and residents, involving residents in daily tasks and activities, and providing flexible routines that allow residents to choose how they spend their time. The company emphasizes turning essential tasks into engaging activities and creating a welcoming environment filled with sensory experiences and objects of interest.

Ambient's LIVES well approach encompasses five key areas: Love and Laughter, Inclusion and Occupation, Values, Environment, and Staff & Support. This framework guides the company in providing person-centered care that meets the psychological needs of residents with dementia. Ambient's care homes are designed to promote orientation, familiarity, and sensory stimulation, with safe outdoor spaces and decor that reflects residents' life experiences.
