Memory Lane Home Living

Memory Lane Home Living Supporting and empowering families affected by dementia We focus on women because 70% of all dementia diagnoses occur in women. We are located in Richmond Hill.

Memory Lane Home Living is a not-for-profit dementia initiative uniquely designed to improve the daily living of women with a diagnosis. We service the needs of the York Region. We know that in dementia, one size does not fit all. So we offer three different day programs. We offer a community connection for women living with a young-onset dementia diagnosis. We also offer a program for caregivers

and loved ones with a dementia diagnosis (caregivers can include family members or PSWs). Finally, we offer a program for older women that are 80+ with a dementia diagnosis. We offer programming at an affordable price. We offer caregiver support groups for families with loved ones attending our day programs. We also host regular potlucks for the families and women in our programs to connect with others on this journey. We provide overnight respite to our community connections women because we understand the needs of their caregivers. Recently we have been offering a music therapy program in Richmond Hill for caregivers and their loved ones to attend. The program aims to reawaken emotions and memories as well as processing grief. It is led by a registered music therapist. We have a supportive and cooperative housing model for women to live with us. This opportunity occurs for women actively involved in our programming. We offer a monthly information session on the first Monday of each month on Zoom, which provides a detailed description of our holistic model of care. Memory Lane Home Living implements philosophies from the Dementia Montessori method and the Butterfly Model of Care.

Do I have opportunities to experience life in all its variety? 💙

This week marked our final Art from the Heart session before our gallery showcase! ✨

Our theme was growth. It stands as a reminder that we never stop growing, changing, and learning. Getting older doesn’t mean the end of discovering new things, challenging ourselves, or finding new ways to express who we are.

We’re so proud of everything our artists have created throughout this program, and we can’t wait to celebrate their work together!

See you all at the gallery next week! 🖼️🎉

Trying something new, one stitch at a time 🧶

Today, our ladies took on a new creative challenge as they learned how to crochet and knit their very own bracelets! For many of them, it was their first time picking up a crochet hook or knitting needles and they embraced the challenge with so much enthusiasm. ✨

A big thank you to our lovely summer student, Emma, for leading us through the activity and helping everyone along the way! We had such a wonderful time learning and creating.

Here’s to trying something new! 💛

How do we find joy in our everyday lives?🌻

This week in our Art from the Heart program, we explored joy and the many opportunities we have to engage creatively with the world around us.

Joy is more than an emotion. It’s a way of experiencing life in all its beauty, variety, and possibility.

Thank you to all the caregivers and their loved ones who joined us. You have made this week all the more joyful for us. 💙

💕 Meet the Memory Lane Team: Emma & Ivanna! 💕

We’re continuing our team spotlights by introducing our two of our wonderful summer students, Emma and Ivanna! 💛

Emma is joining us as our Canada Summer Job Student. After completing a Bachelor of Engineering, Emma discovered her love for working in recreational therapy. We’re so lucky she found her way to Memory Lane! She’s always eager to learn something new and has been amazing at keeping our ladies engaged, active, and involved throughout her time here. Her musical talents have also been such an amazing addition to our music therapy program! 🎶 We’re so grateful for all the support she’s brought to our team this summer.

Ivanna, who may or may not be the person writing this caption, is a long time Memory Lane volunteer. She is spending the summer as a marketing intern managing our social media and helping update our website. While her background is in design, she loves being able to use those skills to support the Memory Lane community in a different way. More than anything, she’s grateful for the opportunity to learn from and be inspired by our participants every day.

We’re also excited to celebrate Ivanna for recently receiving a Youth STAR Volunteer Award through York Region Educational Services! ⭐️

We’re so happy to have Emma and Ivanna with us this summer and grateful for everything they bring to the Memory Lane family! 💛

💕 Meet the Memory Lane Team: Farideh! 💕

Next up in our team spotlights is our wonderful Program Assistant, Farideh!

Farideh has been an important part of the Memory Lane team for some time, bringing her warmth, creativity, and dedication to everything she does. She leads our Farsi program and has a special talent for helping our ladies feel at home through cultural memories, whether that’s through food, music, or meaningful connections.

And we can’t forget that Farideh is our AMAZING chef! She’s always willing to learn new recipes and songs to share with our ladies and make each day a little more special.

Farideh is also someone our team can always count on and is one of the most supportive people you could ask to have by your side.

We’re so grateful to have Farideh as part of the Memory Lane family! 💛

💕 Meet the Memory Lane Team: Nayeli! 💕

We’re kicking off our team spotlights with our wonderful Program Manager & Recreation Therapist, Nayeli!

Nayeli first joined Memory Lane as a volunteer and has continued to bring her creativity, passion, and positive energy to our community. She’s the one behind so much of what happens throughout our days. From planning outings to organizing our day program and making sure each day is meaningful, engaging, and fun.

Most importantly, Nayeli cares deeply about the people at Memory Lane. She brings warmth and positivity to every interaction and is always looking for ways to support both our participants and our staff.

We’re so grateful to have Nayeli as part of the Memory Lane family! 🌺

Are our daily activities meaningful to us? Do they support our self-esteem and our ability to care for others?

These are the questions we explored during Week 5 of Art from the Heart. The search for meaning is something that stays with us throughout our lives, and that desire doesn't disappear as we grow older. Exploring these ideas through art helps people connect with others, build confidence, and feel more at home with who they are.

Thank you to all of the caregivers and their loved ones who joined us this week. 💙

Around the world in one afternoon! 🌎

Today’s scrapbook activity was all about celebrating identity and community during our day program.

We kicked things off with a presentation highlighting the places our ladies grew up, and then everyone designed their own jersey inspired by their heritage. Every personal touch was a unique reflection of the stories, cultures, and traditions that make us who we are.

It was a wonderful afternoon full of creativity, conversation, and celebrating the many places we call home. 💛
