This project is not just about environmental changes but the development of a therapeutic setting that is designed for the unique needs of the aging adult. We are striving for a setting that is calming, yet stimulating.

One goal of the “recollections project” is to enhance resident’s lifestyles and cognition/mental stimulation as they recall “recollect” on the memories of the past. Hopefully, these memories will stimulate conversations and discussions of their earlier days and help them stay “connected” to those things dear to their heart. Cherished days gone by will be “recollected” and serve as a pleasant reminder of the youthful, productive days of the past.
