The risks of COVID-19 are forcing memory care communities to lock down in hopes of saving lives. Activities (music, art, exercise, etc.) have been reduced, leaving a vulnerable community at greater risk for isolation.
But no one walking the dementia journey has to walk alone. Even in these unprecedented times.
We’re bringing together memory care communities, residents, and families through our Virtual Variety Show. An ongoing series with live-streamed music, entertainment, and other activities, our Virtual Variety Show will enable everyone affected by dementia to make connections and embrace each other with social compassion. Our next show is April 29 at 1:30 p.m. Click here to register!
You have a loved one in a local memory care community or are caring for your loved one at home and want to join in the fun.
We are looking for entertainers, musicians, exercise instructors, poets, and storytellers to bring our Virtual Variety Shows to life.
You manage a memory care community and want to host a LIVE watch party for your residents. Let’s make it happen.
Social isolation accelerates the impacts of dementia. It is the biggest struggle for caregivers and those living with dementia. Even though caregivers can’t be physically present with their loved ones during this time, the benefits of social compassion are life-giving.
For people living with dementia, cognitive decline slows if they remain socially engaged. Certain activities, like singing familiar songs in a group, can help dramatically.
Positive social interactions improve mood and contentedness in people living with dementia. Just because facts aren’t recalled doesn’t mean moments aren’t significant.
Currently, there are 7 million people in the United States living with dementia. That number is expected to triple in the next 30 years.
