Art has long been celebrated as a powerful form of expression, allowing individuals to convey emotions and ideas that words alone often can’t capture. Engaging in artistic activities offers profound benefits, fostering mental, emotional, and physical well-being. At JSL, we believe in and explore the transformative power of art in the lives of our residents.
There is therapeutic power in making art. Art therapy uses the creative process to improve a person’s well-being. This practice is beneficial for older adults and offers cognitive stimulation, emotional expression, physical benefits, and social interaction. Currently, Fleischman Residents in memory care and assisted living are working with a teacher from the FAR Conservatory of Therapeutic and Performing Arts, helping them gain a deeper understanding of themselves and teaching different ways to understand and communicate their thoughts and feelings. We are deeply grateful to the Cutler family for facilitating this grant in the arts at Fleischman.
