Liberty Retirement Community of Lima is always seeking out innovative, cutting-edge therapies to offer our residents. Recently, staff members received specialized training in an award-winning program designed to help patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease and other forms of neurocognitive disorders. The goal of Opening Minds through Art (OMA) is to forge friendships between people suffering from the diseases and trained volunteers and staff, as the residents are guided through art therapy sessions. This evidence-based science, is founded on the fact that creative expression improves their physical and psychological well-being and we're certainly reaping the rewards of everyone's hard work. It's failure-free and the result has been some amazing abstract pieces of art. At the end of the six-week program, residents will compile favorite pieces which will be proudly displayed to family and friends as we host our Art Show. It's a beautiful program that our residents love, and we love our residents!
