Nature for Memory Care Residents
Programs for elders are designed for true engagement with the present and lively interaction with their peers. Delivered on a monthly or bi-monthly basis, each program focuses on the senses: petting a chinchilla; hearing the soft coo of a dove; smelling the forest still lingering on a freshly cut pine bough.
Sensory activities tap memories long dormant and immediately, the stories start flowing! Elders who may sleep through the day or barely say a word to anyone run their hands over a conch shell and are suddenly regaling their fellow residents with tales of summers spent on the Maine coast.
Our trained volunteers specialize in re-establishing the power of nature through one-on-one experiences and ongoing connections with elder residents throughout the year.
