Cooperative Elder Services, Inc. is a non-profit
organization that has provided Adult Day Health and Alzheimer Day Care Services
to clients in more than fifty communities in the Greater Boston area since
1979. Their Arlington Center, which provides Adult Day Health and Alzheimer Day
Care Services to frail elders and disabled adults, selected artwork to
contribute to the holistic approach to assist every client to maintain their
highest level of functioning, to support emotional and physical independence,
and to enhance overall quality of life.
Music therapy, dancing, painting, and gardening are just
some of the creative activities the staff at the Arlington Center includes in
their programming to provide social, emotional and physical health benefits for
their participants. Even if someone has late-stage dementia, they can still
connect emotionally through the visual arts. Art has provided a starting point
for many elders with memory loss, who need visual cues to reminisce and engage
in life review. Artwork will hang in all three program rooms, the entrance area
and hallways, and in the dining room.
