Care Programs

Where language fails, the arts speak.

Alzheimer’s and other dementias can affect verbal communication. Creative arts therapists provide a means of expression for your loved one through the universal language of art, music, dance, drama and storytelling.

We believe that creative arts therapies are the new best medicine in memory impairment as a means to find purpose, dignity, self-expression and joy.

Engaging our residents in all the arts as a means of communication is the core of our practices. Our creative arts therapies go beyond singing and painting to provide communications and connections when words fail.

The Greens programming staff are licensed creative arts therapists with specialties in art, music, dance/movement and drama. We are also a teaching and internship site for Master’s level students from area colleges and universities interested in learning and working with individuals with memory impairment.

“Memory impairment can lead to feelings of internal and external disconnection, impacting the quality of a person’s life. At The Greens our staff is specially trained to provide programs for residents that honor the need for connection of mind, body and soul, as well as building relationships.” – Beth Liebowitz, Program Director
