What is the Best Friends Approach?
According to experts, The Best Friends Approach helps diminish the sense of pain and loss caused by dementia, and allows for more dignity and ease in their life and their care. It focuses on seven primary components for taking on the role of a Best Friend to someone with memory loss. These include:
- Friends Know Each Other’s Personality and History. A Best Friend becomes the person’s memory, is sensitive to traditions and respects their personality, moods and problem-solving style.
- Friends Do Things Together. A Best Friend enjoys activities with the person with memory loss, involves the person in activities and chores, initiates activities, encourages the simple things in life and celebrates special occasions.
- Friends Communicate. A Best Friend listens skillfully, fills in the blanks, asks easy questions and encourages participation in conversations.
- Friendship Builds Self-Esteem. A Best Friend gives compliments often, carefully asks for advice or opinions and always offers encouragement and congratulations. For example, a person with dementia might mistakenly say, “President Eisenhower is doing a good job!” A caregiver without knack might say, “What’s wrong with you! Eisenhower hasn’t been president for decades!” This only confuses the person with dementia who has lost track of the passage of time. A caregiver with knack might respond, “Yes, I like Ike too,” thereby preserving the person’s dignity.
- Friends Laugh Together Often. Yes, using humor and laughing with a loved one is considered a valid form of memory care, as long as it is not mean-spirited. A Best Friend tells jokes and funny stories, is spontaneously fun and uses self-deprecating humor often.
- Friends Are Equals. A Best Friend doesn't talk down to people or assume a supervisory role, but instead works to help the person "save face" and knows that learning is a two-way street.
- Friends Work at the Relationship. A Best Friend is not overly sensitive, does more than half the work, builds a trusting relationship and shows affection often.
The Best Friends Approach allows for the makings of a win-win situation. When behavior is better, there is less frustration; and it’s easier to spend more time together. We all feel better when we are with our best friends.
Our experienced staff are extensively trained in the Best Friends Approach to care. They work individually with residents to learn their life stories and become Best Friends with our residents. They know how to emphasize strengths and abilities, encourage residents to participate in meaningful and fun activities and spend days together that are positive, upbeat and life-affirming.

About Respite Care at the Wellspring Senior Living Campus - Saginaw
Respite care provides a short-term solution for primary caregivers who need time to address their own needs. It can be arranged for just a few days, several days or weeks. Maybe your loved one temporarily needs more assistance than you can provide or perhaps they know the time Is near for a move to a residential facility, but they'd like to test the waters first. Whatever the need, short-term residents can take full advantage of day-to-day living — just like all of their assisted living neighbors. Your loved one can call for help with all aspects of care and service during their stay.
