I really appreciated the time we spent sharing stories from my blessed life
Ann, shared her stories at Bethel AME Church, Madison IL
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

Thought provoking…brain activity, listening skills, respect…provides platform for sharing.
Bob, resident at The Highland Home, Highland IL
Your cards are a great idea!

‘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.’
Teresa R., Activities and Volunteer Coordinator, Sunrise Senior Living
I liked the story sharing. It’s a great way to connect with my friends and neighbors.
Deloris, resident at Meridian Village, Glen Carbon IL
