We believe in living fully throughout all seasons of life. That’s why our memory care programs focus on nurturing creativity, fostering connection, and celebrating individuality.
Cognitive decline doesn’t have to mean the end of an active, vibrant lifestyle. Through carefully designed programs, activities, and social gatherings, residents in our secured memory care neighborhoods find opportunities to engage their minds, uplift their spirits, and share joyful moments with others.
To nurture well-being, we offer programs that encourage an active body, engaged mind, and fulfilled spirit.
There’s something magical about putting a paintbrush to canvas or molding a chunk of clay into something entirely your own. Our art classes aren’t about rules or “doing it right.” They’re about freedom of expression. The swish of a paintbrush, the texture of clay beneath fingertips, or the vibrant colors of pastels can help spark creativity and bring back cherished memories.
Our art sessions encourage community members to discover their own unique artistic voice. Someone might create a bold watercolor painting, while another makes a collage inspired by their favorite garden.
These programs provide enjoyment and can help stimulate the brain, trigger recall, and even reduce anxiety. Plus, there’s something incredibly fulfilling about sharing completed works in our community art showcases. Residents see their creations on display, and a sense of pride beams across their faces. It’s not just art—it’s connection and purpose.
Music has an incredible ability to transcend time. A single melody can transport someone back to their wedding day or a cozy afternoon spent humming along to their favorite song on the radio. That’s why music therapy is such a vibrant part of life in memory care communities. Whether it’s a casual sing-along or a guided session with a music therapist, these moments bring smiles and spark familiarity.
Imagine the rhythmic tapping of a tambourine in tune with a classic swing beat or a chorus of voices singing. Music stimulates memories buried deep, energizes the body, and nurtures emotional well-being. For those who prefer to simply listen, there’s joy in hearing live musicians play familiar tunes. Music wraps around the moment like a warm hug, bringing comfort and delight.
We believe in creating spaces where people can truly connect. Social gatherings like afternoon tea, garden strolls, or neighborhood meet-ups aren’t just about filling time. They’re about fostering relationships. There’s always something to look forward to—perhaps an ice cream sundae social, a themed dance party, or a relaxing morning spent chatting with friends while planting flowers.
Conversations flow easily, laughter fills the air, and bonds are strengthened in ways that go beyond words. These gatherings provide a sense of belonging within the community, reminding everyone they are valued and cherished.
Through guided group discussions or reminiscing sessions, residents can share meaningful stories and memories, fostering a sense of accomplishment and self-worth.
Simple, hands-on activities can create some of the most colorful memories. Sensory programs are designed to evoke joy and encourage active participation. Residents can plant herbs and vegetables in raised garden beds, feeling rich soil sift through their hands. Others might explore baking, shaping dough, sprinkling sugar, or tasting the results of their labor as warm cookies emerge from the oven.
Sensory activities engage all five senses—sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. They spark curiosity, open new conversations, and encourage meaningful interactions. Residents feel delighted and engaged, whether building bird feeders together, experimenting with fun textures like kinetic sand, or gathering to enjoy aromatherapy.
Movement can be both invigorating and calming. Through gentle fitness classes, chair yoga sessions, and walking clubs, residents in memory care communities stay active while promoting balance and coordination. Each session is tailored to ensure accessibility and comfort while encouraging participation. There’s no pressure—only a warm invitation to join in and soak up the benefits.
Imagine bright morning sunlight streaming into a room as residents stretch their arms during a guided yoga class or a leisurely group stroll through a garden path, pausing to appreciate the colors of freshly bloomed roses. These moments encourage mindfulness and physical wellness while putting smiles on community members’ faces.
