Memories in the Making®

Question: How do I spend time with a family member when they can no longer communicate verbally? Answer: By painting with them! All family and friends of people with memory loss are invited to learn how to engage with them through painting. Memories in the Making® is the signature art program of Alzheimer’s Orange County that was developed specifically for persons with dementia. With the stroke of a paintbrush, participants are able to express themselves, often painting memories from long ago or images to represent what they can no longer verbally communicate.
