Sage is a dementia awareness and day program facility that offers educational services about the condition, as well as treatment through adult day program activities. The centre fills the gaps that exist within the Burlington area by providing a safe and stimulating environment for not only dementia patients, but also their families and loved ones. Through a home-like atmosphere with versatile spaces and an indoor garden, the facility aims to reduce the stigma around the medical condition by creating an inclusive community that supports one’s social, cognitive, and physical health and well-being. A combination of group and quiet settings, natural lighting, contrasting colours, sound-absorbing materials, and open sightlines help minimize dementia symptoms to promote occupant independence and fulfillment. Sage allows clients to enhance their quality of life while making meaningful connections with others.
