Life Enrichment
receives awards
The Life Enrichment
Center of Cleveland County
has won two awards in
recognition of its innovative
programming.
The first place, annual
award for Best Practices rec-
ognized Life Enrichment’s
“Precious Memories” pro-
gram, which is a way to
extend sympathy to families
of participants who have
died and to give the staff a
chance to express their feel-
ings of loss. Because of the
level of health care that
nurses and other staff pro-
vide, LEC is able to care for
participants as long as they
live.
“During what can be
many years of care five days
a week, the staff loves par-
ticipants like family, so the
staff needs a chance to
mourn,” said Community
Outreach Coordinator Linda
Cabiness.
The staff copies a photo of
the participant and then
each staff writes a memory.
The pages are copied with
one set being sent to the
family and another filed in
an album of “Precious
Memories.”
The second place award
was presented for
Therapeutic Activity
Targeted for Dementia for
“A Book About Me: A Story
From My Life.”
In this program, Jackie
McSwain, an English teacher
at East High School, brought
10 of her students to inter-
view LEC participants about
their lives. Ten art students
sketched at the same time.
After several months of col-
laboration, each pair of stu-
dents produced a book
about their LEC subject. The
first goal was interaction
between generations, which
proved to students how
charming and interest the
participants were, despite a
dementia diagnosis. The
participants loved one-on-
one attention from young
Jeqple who wanted to hear
their stories.
Family members were
invited to the book party
Students read each book in
turn and presented the
books to their respective sto-
rytellers. Not only were the
participants excited that
their stories had been pub-
lished, but families were
thrilled to have the momen-
to, Cabiness said.
“Mrs. McSwain said that
she felt the students were
change by the experience,
Cabiness said. “The LEC
participants felt complete
acceptance and admiration
from the students and were
able to feel that they were
still ‘real’ people with an
identity separate from their
diagnosis, thereby giving
them an emotional and psy-
chological lift.”
”
Cabiness said the awards
reflect philosophy of LEC
“that all adults benefit from
stimulation, both physical
and mental. Isolation at
home can result in illness,
brought on by depression
and inactivity.”
