Here, life is an activity.
Keswick Memory Care

Website Coming Soon.

At Keswick, we define “activity” as something broader than a specific action at a prescribed time. Rather, we view activities as anything the resident does during the course of the day. For each individual, that daily activity will differ. We prefer this person-centered approach in caring for residents with all levels of memory impairment.

We focus on the individual and their strengths. Every resident has his or her own history, capabilities and knowledge. Although there are some similarities among people with memory impairment, it is their individuality which remains as their memory fades. The more we learn about our Memory Care residents, the better we can use the appropriate setting and level of care to engage them in activities they enjoy, while establishing and maintaining routines.

Recreational therapy that is worthy of its residents.
The goal is to enable each person to reach his or her highest level of function. Our recreational therapy takes its cue from the world-renowned Montessori teaching method. It’s an approach that eliminates judgment (right vs. wrong) and focuses on instilling a feeling of success and worthiness. The step-by-step process is more important than the result. Our recreational staff will show the resident how to complete the task once or twice, and then allow the resident to take over from there.

Here are a few examples of our recreational activities:

Balloon Exercise A variety of styles of exercise, including walking, chair dancing, volleyball and tai chi.

Today’s Good News Sharing of daily headlines and events. Arts and Crafts Painting and other crafts, both organized and independent.

Musical Memories Listening to music of specific eras to evoke pleasant memories, plus sing-a-longs and music trivia.

Storytelling Sharing of personal memories and family pictures and book sharing.

Trivia Includes movie titles, sports and TV show categories. Montesori activities Independent, personalized projects for residents throughout the day
