Local Reminiscence Program MA & RI Only
The Local Reminiscence Program is available in Massachusetts & Rhode Island only. The program is approximately 1 hour long and the cost is $150.00. The program combines a power point presentation and group discussion of each artifact. The artifacts are passed around, displayed and discussed. We go through 50 or more artifacts in each of the 6 unique programs. “Educating” is not the primary objective of this program. Engaging, evoking memories, and having discussions about the “artifact” is the goal. The presentation is catered to the cognitive abilities of the group and adjusted appropriately. Call 508 369-8404 to schedule date & time.
Unique & Stimulating
It is a great privilege to be able to take your education and background in (Occupational Therapy, as an OTA and CDP) and combine it with your passion for Relic Hunting. It is an extremely rewarding experience for the presenter as well as the senior as we bring these vintage artifacts back to life.
