Coming here each week makes me purr….

‘The “Story Starter” cards were wonderful tools for my grand daughters to connect with their 91-year-old great grandmother. We all sat at the dining room table and she shared stories of her younger years (some of which were new to me!) There was a lot of laughter that day and the girls learned some fun facts! Hopefully, these memories will be cherished by them through the years. I would highly recommend using the Story Starter cards for those with memory issues. It’s a great “jump start” to initiate conversations with the elderly.’

I think the Story Starter cards are an amazing idea.

I liked the story sharing. It’s a great way to connect people through stories. The program helps to memorialize stories that often are overlooked.

‘As close as my family is to each other, I think they would enjoy this idea because we can make families closer.’

I’ve been thinking about writing this story down for 20 years!

I really appreciated the time we spent sharing stories from my blessed life

‘I like the interactive quality of the program. It seems important any time in life but especially at the end – as a way of pulling the threads together.’

We are so busy going places and doing things all the time, we don’t get a chance to really learn about each other. This program is really different compared to other activities we attend

‘The Legacy Sharing Program has been a magnet for getting residents out of their rooms and socializing more often with each other. Sharing their memories and telling their stories with a facilitated group of active listeners, clearly energizes the participants. As a result of the program, residents are frequently drawn out of their shells and motivated to visit with and learn more from each other.’
