ProTem Health Services, located in Moncton, New Brunswick, owns and operates the only small-option homes in Atlantic Canada for persons living with Alzheimer’s and other memory disorders (Dementia). We began operations in 1996 and now have five facilities with ten residents in each. All five homes are located in the Gorge Road / Mountain Road area of Moncton.

Our theapeutic environments, specifically designed for clients with memory disorders, put residents at ease and make it much easier for us to address loneliness, challenging behaviour, wandering, and aggression. Our homes look, feel, smell, and sound like a spacious, private home.

We deliver a psycho-social model of care which focuses on residents' social needs to ensure they enjoy the best days possible. To accomplish this, we have the following:
a very high staffing ratio of three day and evening Resident Care Workers for ten residents; workers who are truly a therapeutic intervention for residents and want to make a difference in their lives; meaningful social interactions and activities for all levels of residents; and residents are encouraged to spend time with other residents and staff in the common areas during the day and evening.

For resident health care case management , we have three full-time RNs, a house doctor and pharmacist. There are medical rounds every two weeks. Between rounds, the doctor and pharmacist are available on-call.

We accept residents at any stage of their illness and with any type of a memory disorder (Dementia), which includes: Alzheimer's, Lewy Bodies, Parkinson's, Pick's, Korsakoff's, vascular (multi-infarct), and frontal lobe.

Our expertise in palliative care ensures our residents remain at the home for their end-of-life care.

Part of our business model includes serving the family along with the resident. This includes open communication and education so families can enjoy time with their loved one during this journey .
