Transforming Memory Living.


SPARK: Memory Living by Optima seeks to establish a culture that focuses on the social impact of dementia. We draw on our own experiences, clinical best practices, and evidence-informed research to design a unique experience for you and your loved ones.

This program inspired the development of our Memory Living Neighbourhoods, which provide 24-hour supervised attention, care, and support in an intentionally designed, home-style space.

SPARK is rooted in person-centred care, which draws on our years of experience, knowledge of clinical best practices, and evidence-based research. Person-centred care is more than just words; it is a lived experience. It is based on values, compassion, empathy, respect, love, and dignity.
