For local senior Jim Hansen, 81, a fishing rod and reel stir up a lifetime of memories. He recently joined some local school children and fellow Liberty Place Memory Care residents for a day of angling at Voice of America Park lake in West Chester, Ohio.
“We seek out engaging activities that help our residents find purpose,” Amy Snow, Liberty Place life engagement director, told the Warren County Post who covered the event. “It’s important to spark joyful memories for those living with dementia, while encouraging them to express themselves through favorite hobbies and new experiences. Our residents loved sharing fishing tips with the boys and making new friends.”
