FOR ADULT CARE HOME PROVIDERS

1. Want to reduce stress and conflict and have a more harmonious home environment? Why not brighten up your home, now. Take a look at what we have to offer. Then, give us a call and schedule an introductory visit, today.

Led by artists and performing artists, many of whom are caregivers, we engage older adults physically and mentally in creative activities to enhance self-esteem, morale, and overall health.

2. Want to give your clients a sense of self-empowerment, purpose and worth? Take a look at our programs and give one a try, and brighten up your home.

Activities have a focus on social engagement for cognitive involvement, participants draw on their life stories, explored through movement, story, dance, and engagement in making art as a tool in expression.

3. If the only sense of power your clients can have is to engage in conflict, why not engage them in cognitive activities that will make them happy, instead. We cover the entire spectrum from entertainment, to interactive entertainment, to art and crafts classes, cultural lectures, and many other stimulating activities.

"I was going thru a long depression...and this gave me a purpose to do something that I would never have done on my own. And have [a teaching artist] to guide me, was fantastic." ~ client from a class

"This class was a delight. I'll remember how wonderful it felt to be free to trust my body to move." ~ 72 year old participant

4. If there's a lack of stimulation for your clients, why not provide them cognitive stimulation and social engagement to enhance their world ...and their standing in that world? If you like the results, we can set up a regular schedule -- or, more intensive and regular cognitive activities for some clients, if you'd like to stimulate an individual's cognitive abilities, sense of purpose, and zest for life.

5. Remind people of their strengths that were once useful.

"She wheeled her chair over to me to say she felt such a strong need to say how much joy the program brought to her and to the other participants; how valuable it was to know that someone like me cared about old people like them". ~ Anthony Hyatt, Musician

6. Combat feelings of isolation and resignation, providing companionship.

Our programs stimulate thought and creativity, provide learning opportunities, help elders stay connected to the outside world, interact with people of different ages, and help people laugh and enjoy themselves.
