Events

The Book of Life offers a great single day-of-service as well as ongoing volunteer experience. While the power of reminiscing has great benefits to our residents—the power to lower depression, exercise the brain, engage those with dementia, and reinforce self-image and personal identity—volunteers also reported that they learned about historical events from a personal perspective, connected with a resident on a personal level, and felt that they were helping to create something that would be treasured by the resident and their families for many years to come.
