IS ARTS IN MIND A PROGRAM FOR US?  

Arts in Mind is for individuals with mild to moderate dementia and their care partners. To determine if you qualify, ask yourself these questions:

• Does he or she primarily live at home?
• Has he or she been diagnosed with Alzheimer's or other dementia by a health-care professional?
• If so, is he or she in mild to moderate stages? Common symptoms may include difficulty with short-term memory, word-finding, repetitive questions; a decline in ability to plan, organize, perform complex tasks such as managing finances or household chores; and/ or needing help with everyday tasks.
• Is he or she able to tolerate and maintain focus for a 90 minute program?
• Can he or she express thoughts and feelings in conversation?
• Is he or she comfortable in a group setting?
• Does he or she have a care partner with whom to attend the series?
• Are both of you available on weekday mornings or afternoons to attend all programs in a series?

 If you answered yes to all of these, then Arts in Mind Program is for you!
