Art Reflection, Reminiscing, and Relationships!

Isolation is a large part of life for the elderly and especially now while experiencing social distancing. Hummingbird Activity Specialists understand that the need for socialization is even more important for the well-being of their clients during these trying times. During a recent Zoom session, the specialist’s client was relieved to see his familiar friend as he said, “I know this woman,” upon seeing her. While interacting virtually, they took part in viewing paintings together. This brought about reminiscing as the client shared thoughts such as, “It’s very hard work,” upon observing a picture of a woman bathing a child. This interaction ushered in memories of his own mother and times when she cared for him, their home, animals, and the family garden. Knowing the importance of sharing intimate thoughts is a specialty of Hummingbird Activity Specialists. Relating at its finest!
