Music Therapy: A Symphony of Benefits
BENEFITS: RENEWED SENSE OF JOY AND CONNECTION • INVOKE MEMORIES • STIMULATE COGNITIVE FUNCTION
Music holds a special place in the hearts of many, and its therapeutic benefits for seniors with dementia are profound. Music therapy can improve mood, reduce agitation, and enhance memory recall.
By engaging with familiar tunes and rhythms, residents often experience a renewed sense of joy and connection. At Prairie Elder Care, our music therapy sessions are designed to invoke memories and stimulate cognitive function, all while providing a soothing and enjoyable experience.
Art Therapy: Unleashing Creativity
BENEFITS: HELPS IMPROVE MOTOR SKILLS • ENHANCES COGNITIVE ABILITIES • FOSTERS A SENSE OF ACHIEVEMENT
Art therapy provides a unique avenue for expression and creativity. Through painting, drawing, and other forms of art, seniors can communicate their thoughts and emotions in a non-verbal way.
This mode of therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals with dementia as it helps improve motor skills, enhance cognitive abilities, and foster a sense of achievement. Our art therapy programs at Prairie Elder Care aim to nurture creativity while providing a therapeutic outlet for emotional expression.
Pet Therapy: Companionship and Comfort
BENEFITS: HELPS REDUCE ANXIETY • LOWERS BLOOD PRESSURE • PROMOTES SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT
The unconditional love and companionship of pets can have a remarkable impact on seniors with dementia.
Pet therapy at Prairie Elder Care involves interactions with trained therapy animals that help reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure, and promote social engagement. The presence of a friendly dog or cat brings immense joy and provides a calming influence, which is invaluable for our residents.
Reminiscence Therapy: Bridging the Past and Present
BENEFITS: FEEL CONNECTED TO THEIR PERSONAL HISTORY • REINFORCES THEIR IDENTITY • PROMOTES COGNITIVE FUNCTION
Reminiscence therapy involves recalling and discussing past experiences and memories, which can be very soothing and stimulating for seniors with dementia.
This type of therapy encourages residents to share their life stories, look at old photographs, and listen to music from their past. At Prairie Elder Care, reminiscence therapy helps residents feel connected to their personal history, reinforces their identity, and promotes cognitive function.

What sets Prairie Elder Care apart is our integrative approach to therapy. By combining different therapy modes, we create a rich and supportive environment tailored to each resident's unique needs.
