Research highlights the significant benefits of art and music for individuals living with dementia or other memory-related conditions, including improved cognitive function, reduced stress, and greater comfort and relaxation. Our Create & Compose program encourages residents to partake in pursuits, including playing music and painting, that assist them in reaping these benefits.

Our Legacy Kit program collaborates with families to construct a tangible representation of the most significant events and interests in the resident’s life, such as photographs, keepsakes, and objects that symbolize their experiences. Each item encourages new storytelling opportunities, revisiting past memories, and preserving their legacy.

People living with dementia often find joy, connection, and engagement when they come across positive places and activities. Our Travel Times program facilitates this by creating opportunities for residents to visit new or beloved, familiar places.

Research proves that interactions with animals can lower stress, provide a profound sense of enjoyment, and reduce the incidence of heart disease, anxiety, and depression. Our Creature Comforts program brings gentle animals, like dogs and birds, into our memory care community for safe, supportive animal interactions.

For individuals living with dementia or other forms of memory impairment, a routine offers comfort and helps organize their day. Our VITA! program leverages this structure to integrate mental stimulation, such as brain teasers, and physical activity, like exercise, into residents’ daily routines. We find residents who actively participate in VITA! experience a heightened sense of calm throughout their day and often focus more on positive self-care.
