Our Approach is Different

We Work From Every Direction to Make Life with Dementia Better

The Ohio Council for Cognitive Health focuses on the intersection of the community and individuals living with cognitive impairments and their care partners, regardless of where they call home. We do this by supporting the individual with cognitive impairment, and helping them to increase their own understanding of life with this new challenge. We then move outward, to support and facilitate positive interpersonal relationships between loved ones and the community. We do our very best to put ourselves in the positions of people living with dementia and their care partners, and to view life from their perspective.  In other words, we work both from the inside out and the outside in.

Our work blends time-tested and emerging clinical approaches along with broader community involvement. By giving voice to care recipients, care providers and the broader community, we are taking person-centered care and the mantra, “nothing about us without us,” to a new level. The goal of The Ohio Council for Cognitive Health is to ensure that Ohioans living with cognitive impairment and changes, along with their care partners, continue to live the highest quality of life possible. As both an incubator and an accelerator, we are outcome driven; we focus on sustainable efforts; we emphasize evidence based or promising practices; and most importantly, we are obsessed with being person focused.
