Methods: 40 cases of senile dementia patients who were admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to January 2023 were selected and randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group according to the single and double number table method, with 20 cases in each group. The intervention group used the Montessori education method, the principle of which was to implement individualized health interventions based on the individual conditions of the patients, for a period of 6 months; the control group was given conventional treatment and nursing of the disease. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used to compare the effects of the two groups of patients before and after health intervention and conduct statistical analysis. Results: The score of the intervention group was higher than that of the control group, and there was a statistical difference between the two (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Implementing the Montessori education method for diagnosed Alzheimer’s patients can effectively improve their cognitive function and delay the progress of further dementia.
