On the Longest Day, June 20th, we celebrated our freinds and family who have suffered from Memory Loss and touched us so deeply.  We miss them.  Our celebration included a butterfly release.  We look forward to the time when we can usher them into the next hallway and continue to love and care for them in our Memory Care Community.

Celebrating Our PCAs with Sundaes and Gratitude

KristenMeyer 0 3938

Today, we had the joy of celebrating the incredible Personal Care Assistants (PCAs) who care for us with such compassion, patience, and grace.  These quiet heroes show up every day with helping hands and open hearts - and today, we had the chance to return the favor in a small but sweet way.

Residents turned the tables and rolled up their sleeves to scoop ice cream and add toppings for our beloved aides.  With laughter, strawberries, and plenty of whipped cream, we served up sundaes as a heartfelt thank-you to those who so faithfully serve us.

it was more than just a treat - it was a moment of connection, appreciation, and community.Thank you, PCAs, for the care you give and the kindness you show.  You make all the difference!

Music History class with Katherine!

Katherine McGrath, MT-BC, is our music therapist at the community and she has recently begun a six part course on music history. From the Medieval period to the present day, Katherine recently held a class on the Baroque period. The music of Bach and Vivaldi were highlighted.  During these classes, residents are learning about the historical and political climate of the day, as well as how the art of the period all relate to music.  Future classes will touch on the Classical period with the music of Mozart and Beethoven.  According to Katherine, a "fan favorite" is the Romantic period which is remembered as the Waltz period with music from Chopin and Brahms.  As she moves towards the present day, the Impressionist period,or Jazz will be discussed, the Counter Culture period (60's) and finally the music of today will wrap up this course.

In addition to teaching music history classes, Katherine can be seen hosting musical trivia, facilitating drum circles, leading singalongs,employing music for mindfulness exercises, and also utilizing music to help process grief and/or spiritual needs in both group and individual settings.  Katherine's motto is empowerment through creativity!
