Community First Marks First Year of TouchPoint Sensory Memory Care Program

Community First Solutions is marking the first anniversary of its TouchPoint Sensory™ Memory Care program, a sensory-based approach developed to support residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. The Hamilton-based nonprofit reports strong family interest in the program across its senior living communities and shared that Megan Deaton, LPN, memory care program manager, was named a 2025 Memory Care Innovation Award winner by Senior Housing News for her work in cognitive care.

According to Community First Solutions, the program uses touch, taste, sight, sound, and smell to support meaningful engagement among residents, families, and care teams. The organization also said donor support has helped fund added sensory tools in its communities, including interactive projection tables and care instruments designed to support connection through touch and sound. Community First Solutions said the program reflects its broader commitment to person-centered memory care across southwest Ohio.
