Connections Foundations | Benefits |
Engaging the Emotions | Reminiscing is a powerful tool to trigger memories. Using the five senses, we can help stimulate emotions and learn more about your loved ones. Activities like Sing-Fit use classic songs as a way to exercise speech patterns, elevate mood and reminisce. Playing music is also a good excuse for fun. |
