Thank you so much Waffle House on Williamson Road for bringing us all lunch on Tuesday! We really do appreciate the support from our local community during this time! Thanks, Cassy!
Dalgona coffee is a South Korean staple that has blown up in popularity on the internet. Madeline, our program coordinator, was able to visit most of our residents and dish out a frothy cup, all while updating our residents on what the “cool new trends" are in our area!
We understand that social distancing can be tough on our residents and their families. That’s why we are creating unique engagement opportunities that respect the need for social distancing while still allowing special, meaningful moments to occur. Continue watching to see what creative ways we’ve come up with to keep our residents engaged and connected with family members.

January 25th is Rice Crispy Treat Day. The residents of Brookdale Roanoke had fun making Rice Crispy Treats. Life with dementia can be engaging, productive, and meaningful by allowing the resident, (with supervision) to do what brings joy to them. The residents at Brookdale Roanoke dispel the myth that people with dementia cannot function and that everything has to be done for them. In early and middle-stage dementia, with given cues, gestures, and proper supervision we give an avenue to continue an active person-centered meaningful living.
People with dementia may not be able to initiate the process of painting an entire canvas but by breaking the task down step by step will help them create a beautiful painting. This concept allows people with dementia to successfully complete an activity that gives them a sense of accomplishment, meaning, and continuity of their life amid the progression of dementia disease.
Ice cream social!
