AYLUS Dix Hills Branch works with the Alzheimer’s and dementia center to provide entertainment for patients on April 8th, 2023. Volunteers provided entertainment to the seniors by dancing with them, engaging with them through having meaningful conversations and communicating possible activities that they can do to further enjoy themselves. Despite most of the seniors being extremely tired as a result of a long commute via bus here, the environment was still warm and fun.
Due to the impacts of Alzheimer’s and Dementia, some of the seniors struggle to maintain their life efficiently. By fostering their lively entertainment, volunteers are able to replenish their brains healthily and make them feel orderly in their lives. The environment created allowed for strong connections, productivity, and fun amongst the seniors and volunteers.
AYLUS Dix Hills is actively working to innovate and improve the senior community’s interest and happiness. We hope to make a positive impact on their well-being.
Volunteers: Sara Kong (2 hours), Ru Xue Jiang (1 hour and 30 minutes), Jason Cheng (1 hour and 30 minutes), Gurvani Singh (1 hour and 30 minutes), Khushi Mody (1 hour and 30 minutes), Aryaa Shah (1 hour and 30 minutes), and Ming Chen (1 hour and 30 minutes).
