Judith's Story

​

Judith was a wife, a mother, a career secretary and actively involved

in her community. She loved to be around people.  As an adult, Judith was the glue that kept the office, the family and the neighborhood together. 

 

That was many years ago. 

 

Seeing her sitting alone in her room gazing blankly at the flashing television, it’s hard to envision the full life she once led.  Now, even the solace of living in happier memories is diminishing with memory loss.

​

But today is different. 

​

Today is the day the young woman comes to take her on their weekly adventure!  Today, looking through sewing patterns and touching textured fabrics transports Judith back to high school.   They talk about friends, teachers, favorite outfits and her dreams for adulthood.  

 

During another visit, a photo of the seashore,  smelling and touching fresh sand and listening to a seashell spurs a lively conversation of past vacations.  She fondly relives the time she and her husband piled the kids in the car and took them to the beach for the first time.  Her once blank face turns bright with excitement as she sees again their awed expressions when the cool waves lapped at their little feet.

​

Senior Explorers is about reviving these forgotten emotions and fading memories.   Activity sessions are specially customized to each adventurer.  Without leaving their home or chair, they journey through time and space,  reliving the moments they hold most dear, and leaving them feeling fulfilled.
