AYLUS Dix Hills Branch works with the Alzheimer’s and dementia center to provide entertainment for patients on March 18, 2023. Volunteers provided entertainment to the seniors through dance. Volunteers engaged them in the events helped them to further enjoy themselves. Volunteers tried to bring seniors out onto the dance floor to do simple dances that follow the flow of music. Volunteers also encourage seniors to make up their own dance moves as well as sing.
Because some of the seniors are disabled, dislike dancing, and/or are stressed from the columns of the music, one of our volunteers suggested that they create a separate activity to read.
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: Ru Xue Jiang (2 hours), Sara Kong (1 hour and 30 minutes), Ming Chen (1 hour and 30 minutes), Jason Cheng, (1 hour and 30 minutes), Khushi Mody (1 hour and 30 minutes).
