The Arts and Alzheimer's

Juniper Village at Naples' residents were ecstatic to be invited to the Philharmonic Center for the Arts six week program Arts and Alzheimer's. This innovative program under the direction of Bernadette La Paglia, R N, BSN, M.Ed. allows people challenged with Alzheimer's and other associated dementias to participate in the artistic experience. "Often times, people afflicted with diseases such as Alzheimer's are factored out of the loop of such grand objectives -but 'The Arts' are all inclusive," La Paglia said. "The intent of this unique program is to empathize -first and foremost- and then to demonstrate and validate such capabilities." Please feel free to stop by and see their accomplishments.
