Peter Brissette • June 2, 2022

Creating a living environment that’s the closest thing to home, along with cutting-edge senior care, is our goal. We believe that home is where people are happiest and healthiest. And that those who need care can—and should—have the opportunity to thrive physically, intellectually and socially. 


We are located in Castle Rock, Colorado - just a 30 minute drive south from Denver.

Reminiscence therapy, which encourages seniors in assisted living to revisit memories and share personal life stories, can offer profound emotional benefits. Cognitive abilities might change as people age, but memories often remain vivid, offering a powerful connection to their past and sense of identity. Reminiscence therapy allows seniors to process their experiences and emotions, improving their emotional well-being and quality of life. Additionally, it allows seniors to build connections with others, strengthening their social bonds.  Many assisted living communities have recognized the positive impacts of reminiscence therapy. Not only does it help with emotional expression, but it also improves cognitive function and strengthens mental resilience. Revisiting memories brings joy, stimulates mental activity, and creates a greater sense of purpose among seniors. The Impact of Reminiscence Therapy on Cognitive Health Cognitive health can improve significantly through reminiscence therapy. Studies suggest that reflecting on past experiences enhances memory and helps individuals maintain mental clarity. This process allows seniors to practice recalling essential events, names, and faces, which keeps their cognitive faculties sharp. Regular engagement with this therapeutic practice reduces the risk of cognitive decline and may delay the progression of Alzheimer's disease or dementia.
