Edenmore Nursing Home was delighted to welcome Sarah Fenner this week, from Creative Minds on Wednesday.
Creative Minds art sessions allow people to express themselves through the creative process, by delivering these sessions to many types of venues including care homes.
Art can remind people of what they can do, not what they can’t do. Therefore, this creates a sense of pride when residents, fondly referred to as family members, display their art in their home. This can also help to build individuals confidence through finding this new skill or hobby.
Furthermore, Art for people living with a Dementia is beneficial because it provides a non-verbal means of expression. This allows individuals to communicate thoughts, feelings, and memories that may be difficult to articulate verbally.
In conclusion, Gayle the Home Manager, said “Having creative minds visit us inspires our family members to connect, be creative, learn new skills, and most importantly have fun. Art can be a mood enhancer, the family members themselves are less heightened and more engaged.”
At the core of Edenmore Nursing Home’s philosophy lies a commitment to fostering independence and embracing life’s spontaneous moments.
By facilitating activities like this, the care home aims to create an environment where residents, feel empowered to explore new experiences and forge meaningful connections.
