Farm and Barn
In recognition of farmers in Memory Care
One thing we have learned from our clients (Administrators and Recreation Therapists) is that many of their residents in memory care have had some connection to farm or rural living in their past. Even if their later years were spent in the suburbs or in a city, for many, their life harkened back to simpler times and that connection to the earth.
With this knowledge, we have expanded our mural offerings to include farm imagery designed to stir those deep-seated, early memories.
For walls without a chair rail
A miniature barn symbolizes the larger version. For our purposes, it could be a hen house or a shed, but all the “ingredients” are there to stimulate memories of life on the land. Use these murals to encourage conversation or to distract a resident who may be having a bad day. Visitors also appreciate having a destination to arrive at!

How cute is this?
