Spring Arbor of Florence, a local senior living community, will celebrate Memory Care Week this week to offer an opportunity for the community to honor, celebrate, and bring awareness to the meaningful lives, stories, relationships, and connections within Memory Care.
It’s grand re-opening ribbon-cutting will take place on Wednesday at 2 p.m.
The week culminates with The Longest Day recognition on June 20. Historically, the longest day of the year has been a time to bring greater awareness and support for those impacted by Alzheimer’s and dementia. The longest day has more light than any other day and serves as a metaphor to outshine the darkness of dementia. The longest day also signifies the 24/7 reality of caregiving for loved ones with all forms of dementia.
“Memory Care Week is a wonderful opportunity to honor our residents and their unique stories,” said Jackie Smith, Executive Director at Spring Arbor of Florence. “Throughout this week, our team will celebrate our residents in Memory Care and create meaningful moments for them and their loved ones. We’ll work to increase understanding of Alzheimer’s and dementia as well as highlight the compassion and dedication of our amazing Memory Care team members.”
Among the highlights of Memory Care Week will be a memory-filled scavenger hunt, fun summer workout led by the community’s therapy team, Dancing through the Decades event, an old-fashioned Ice Cream Soda Shoppe Social, and a Grand Re-Opening celebration.
