Whether we're laughing and learning through pleasant coffee and conversation, chronicling all we have to be thankful for in our gratitude journals, or playing a round of Qwirkle, there's always something fun and refreshing happening here.
Student volunteers complete training on communication techniques and tools for managing challenging situations. They plan daily activities rooted in beneficial routines for people with memory-related diseases, with enough variety to keep it fun.
Our activities are certainly fun and engaging for our seniors, but they're often a tremendous help to our student volunteers too. Here is a sampling of some of our favorite pastimes:
- Chair yoga and aerobics
- Arts and crafts
- Games and puzzles
- Cooking projects
- Special celebrations and events
- Visits from a therapy dog
