The Arts and Minds program targets memory enhancement for individuals struggling with memory loss.  This weekly program utilizes creative arts as tools for strengthening and maintaining cognitive functioning, optimizing abilities and reducing stress.  Involvement in music and arts offers opportunities to focus on creative experiences that stimulate greater parts of the brain, increasing the likelihood of success.  Participants can expect to sing, share memories, drum, write songs, read, compose poems, exercise, improvise, move, tell stories, draw, learn to relax and engage in other memory enhancement experiences. Fun, creative and social fitness for the brain.  This program is being offered through OlyCAP’s Encore! Center. At present, there is a gap in supportive services available for people recently diagnosed with EML. This engaging, educational service model allows adults to be productive, involved members of the community and participate in programming that enhances independence.  An early diagnosis of dementia is preferred but not required to participate.  Space is limited. Every Thursday from 10am to 2pm. Light lunch. Reasonable fee scale.
