Music serves as a nearly universal language. Our Art of Reflections program embraces both individualized and group approaches to the joy and benefits of music. We curate personalized playlists for residents who prefer solitary music enjoyment, while lively group sessions feature hand-drums, bells, and singing. The Harmony program aims to enhance wellness, reduce stress, alleviate pain, boost memory, and foster unique opportunities for communication and interaction. Plus, it's a lot of fun!
This program empowers residents with Alzheimer’s or other memory impairments to express themselves through art. The outcomes are remarkable. Even residents who have encountered difficulties with everyday tasks reveal astonishing creativity through their artwork.
Through the medium of colors and patterns, residents communicate with profound beauty and grace, demonstrating that a picture truly speaks volumes.
A Day at the Park
The park was bathed in sunshine, a perfect setting for a day of adventure. My sisters and I giggled with excitement as we soared higher and higher on the swings, challenging each other to reach the sky. Yet, our true delight came from the exhilarating rush of sliding down the slide together. With cheers and laughter, we experimented with different ways to glide down, eventually mastering the art of synchronized sliding, arms outstretched, in perfect harmony.
Storytelling is a timeless tradition. At Manor Lake, residents with Alzheimer’s or other memory impairments come together to craft engaging tales, often drawing from personal memories and experiences. Gathered in intimate groups, residents take turns describing images, sharing their perceptions and imagination with a facilitator. This blend of reminiscence and creativity results in a unique story, documented and shared with the entire community through words and illustrations.
