Valentine’s Day is almost here and it’s the perfect time to spread love to those who need it most. For many seniors in assisted living, a simple card can be the highlight of their day!

These handmade cards from a group of Pre-K kids, brought smiles, tears of joy, and a sense of being remembered to our residents today!

I loved this idea so much, so i borrowed it from an old friend who also owns an assisted living community! We want to serve all meals, for the whole month of December, on Christmas themed plates! We’ll be hitting up thrift stores, but if you have any Christmas themed plates, glasses, etc., that have been gathering dust and you want them put to good use, shoot us a text or call us at 505-269-4556!!

Perfect day for a banana split!! Did you know that ice cream can actually be good for your mood? The creamy texture and sweet taste can trigger the release of endorphins, those "feel-good" hormones.

Doll therapy, or the use of dolls as a non-pharmacological intervention, has shown promising results in reducing agitation, anxiety, and improving overall quality of life for individuals living with dementia. Research has explored how dolls can be integrated into dementia care.

Comfort and Connection:
Dolls can provide a sense of comfort and security, potentially triggering positive memories of childhood or caring for loved ones.

Sensory Stimulation:
Holding and interacting with a doll can provide sensory stimulation, which may be calming and engaging for individuals with dementia.

Reduced Distress:
Doll therapy can help reduce distress, agitation, and anxiety, which are common symptoms of dementia.

Facilitating Communication:
The presence of a doll can encourage communication and social interaction, both with the doll and with caregivers.
