Added Benefits: Discover Springpoint’s LivWell Program

While the above elements form the foundation for a quality memory care community, we strive to do far more than keep your loved one as healthy and safe as possible.

It’s our goal to also offer moments of joy, connection, and peace.

One of the ways we do that is by partnering with the Delaware Music & Memory program, which uses music to enrich the lives of people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Residents receive a portable music player downloaded with their favorite songs. Even when someone has lost the ability to communicate, they can often still recall the words to a meaningful song, allowing them to engage with others through music.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, music has been proven to help reduce negative emotions like stress and agitation while boosting positive feelings. It can also encourage movement, such as clapping and dancing, which adds to a feeling of well-being.

Followed by a wide variety of other life-enriching cultural, spiritual, educational, and social activities, at The Moorings at Lewes we ensure that every day endless opportunities.
