There are many stigmas concerning Alzheimer's and Dementia. These stigmas are shared among many of the residents currently residing in continuum of care and long-term care facilities. Some residents are uncomfortable with the idea of interacting with others who have memory loss or believe that dementia means people are no longer able to create or participate in meaningful activities. Art programming has been used as a bridge in my facility to develop rapport and relationships between residents of varying cognition in all levels of care. Learn how our facility's Art Program is banishing resident stigmas and encouraging collaboration. Learn how to create an engaging Art program for your facility and watch the stigmas slowly dissolve!
