NAPLES, FLA. (November 14, 2024) – Villa at Terracina Grand, a memory care community located on the Terracina Senior Living campus and managed by The Goodman Group, recently debuted its offering of the groundbreaking Tovertafel technology for residents. Originally designed in the Netherlands, Tovertafel is an evidence-based and research-grounded gaming technology that has shown to positively impact the cognitive health and overall well-being of individuals with dementia.

Villa at Terracina Grand is the only memory care community in Southwest Florida to showcase Tovertafel’s state-of-the-art technology. Using infra-red sensors to detect hand movements, Tovertafel’s proven ease of use has shown to promote inclusivity, social interaction, positive moods, and mental stimulation through hand-eye coordination and auditory responses. Games are tiered for advancing levels of play.

“We couldn’t be more grateful for the Tovertafel technology and the impact it’s had on our residents,” says Executive Director Brant Huisman. “The positive outcomes of the technology are undeniable. It’s become an important part of our community and the care we provide for our residents.”

Villa at Terracina Grand offers Pearls of Life® memory care, which recognizes the value of each individual and helps residents live dignified, well-rounded lives, discovering the treasures, or pearls, within. The Pearls of Life memory care neighborhood offers Montessori Inspired Lifestyle®, a positive approach to providing care for adults living with dementia or Alzheimer’s. Based on the methods of Maria Montessori and as adapted for adults by Dr. Cameron Camp, founder of the Center for Applied Research in Dementia, this approach of care allows residents to focus on their individual strengths and engage in meaningful activities.

The community is eager to continue providing high-quality care for residents with its new addition of Tovertafel.
