Rhyming poems may bring happy memories and assist with the recall of important life events for residents. Poetry reading is said to improve mood and concentration in people with Alzheimer’s Disease as well, making this activity particularly important for memory care residents. However, this activity is suitable to all residents who long for spirituality. Print some poems in large fonts and encourage residents to read independently.

Golden care has created a forum gathering a variety of poetry for residents.
