BRINGING JOY
We take pride in bringing the joy! It fosters a sense of well-being and connection. Laughter can decrease stress, soothe tension, and release endorphins. Joy and laughter can have a profound impact on quality of life.
Our Creative Engagement team provides thoughtful, person-centered, and practical approaches to bringing joy to clients’ lives.
Our we work one-on-one with each client to:
- Enrich visits with personalized activities and experiences that evoke positive associations.
- Provide comfort, safety, and space to be at ease with each other.
- Explore new places and possibilities together, such as dancing, an afternoon at the zoo, a chocolate-tasting party, learning crochet, or visiting the beach.
- Spark enjoyment and laughter.
RESULTS: Reconnect and harness what brings a smile, a chuckle, and pure joy through art, music, and experiences.
EXAMPLES:
“Every time I see you, I know something good is going to happen.” ~ Client upon arrival of Creative Engagement Specialist
“Thanks so much for keeping him laughing!” ~ Sister of client
A “Mr. Fix It” relies on his weekly Creative Engagement visit for a meal out and a stop by his local hardware store. He is constantly tinkering with things in his memory care apartment; mending items and tending to his plants. Enjoying a social outing for lunch, and catching up with the salespeople at the hardware store brings him joy and purpose.
A client with a lifelong love for musicals and comedies often breaks into song during their Creative Engagement visits. “Do Re Mi” and their high school fight song are most repeated. Any mention of Mel Brooks receives an enthusiastic response, too. With one-on-one tailored engagement, the client smiles brightly and jokes with their Creative Engagement Specialist.
