Our residents have rhythm!
Drumming Sounds came to visit us again with all of their drums. We enjoyed a fun afternoon trying new rhythms and keeping the beat.
Music therapy is a helpful, non-medical way to support people with dementia. It calms the mind, unlocks memories, and encourages movement.
What a fun way to spend the afternoon!

At Parkland we love all the therapy dogs who come to visit us. This time we decided to try a different approach to animal therapy. Creature Kingdom is a local exotic mobile petting zoo, and they always surprise us with something new. We never know what kind of animals we will get to hold when they visit. This time we got to see furry, feathery, and even scaly animals. This is bringing animal therapy to a whole new level!

Barbecues and picnics, swimmers soaking up the rays,
Bike rides in the country, shady spots on sunny days...
Summertime vacations, lemonade on front porch swings-
Special thoughts and recollections of July's most favorite things.
A very Happy Birthday to our July Birthdays!

A Father's love is the quiet strength behind every dream,
the steady hand through every storm,
and the unwavering support that lasts a lifetime.
Happy Father's Day to all of our fathers and father figures!

Residents enjoyed a day at the beach listening to the waves, searching for seashells, and building sandcastles. For dementia, “sandcastle sensory” refers to therapeutic, touch-based play using sand and related beach items to engage a person’s senses. It helps to provide comfort, relaxation, and emotional connection with a bit of nostalgia. The tactile feel of sand slipping through their fingers and the sound of the waves in the background were the perfect setting for residents to reminisce about family trips to the beach and fun days at the shore.
