The residents at Azura Memory Care of Stoughton have a blast playing this game. And just what is it?
Simply fill the parachute with a bunch of balloons and see how long the group can keep the “popcorn” in the parachute. You have never seen such a determined group! Who would have ever thought exercise could be this fun?
"We want to thank you for the loving special care you took of our mother, Diane. It was truly mom's home and you all became part of our family. Everything was home for her....from the beautiful rooms, large sunny windows all around, good food made with love, fun and personal activities from people who really loved our mom. We would highly recommend your facility to anyone. The staff from the director, to the doctor, to the nurse, to the caregivers and the maintenance man were all extremely helpful, caring, loving and professional. There are not enough words to say how much we appreciate all of you. Your exceptional care, kindness, and love were beyond anything we could have imagined. You were part of our family, and we will miss you." - Gail Sommers and Deborah Guse

All the activities are so unique—so original. Who designs the very clever “logistics”?
Eunice,
Our activities are very person-centered. As in life, one size seldom fits all. Check out our blog, “MOSAIC Moments: Mmm…Homemade Ice Cream” from 4/25/14 to learn about our new Engagement Resource Guide. Although it is a wonderful guide, it is nothing but paper that without well-trained and compassionate staff. One of our Core Values is to “hire and retain the finest people” and we believe we do just that. They are the ones that engage our residents and bring MOSAIC Moments to their lives.
Love your game – can I share your article/photos with friends from dementia centre?
thanks,
