What Exactly is Art Therapy?


Art therapy combines allopathic and complementary therapies to better serve mental health and concentration which enriches lives through active artmaking, creative process, and human experience within a therapeutic relationship. Art therapists work in hospitals, schools, community clinics, senior and assisted living communities, and more. Art therapy is especially beneficial for seniors in memory care. Through drawing, painting, sculpting, collaging, and other methods, art therapy allows for creative expression that can overcome the limitations of language only. MorningStar’s Dementia and Memory Care in Arvada Co utilizes this holistic approach of art therapy in memory care.

Art therapy for seniors in memory care offers many advantages. Class for art therapy for seniors in memory care cultivates emotional resilience, enhances social skills, and improves cognitive and sensory-motor functions. These abilities usually diminish as memory loss and dementia progresses. Art therapy is a great way to combat these symptoms of memory loss in seniors. At MorningStar memory care Arvada Co, our community offers a mix of art therapy and other creative activities that stimulate the mind, body, and spirit through a holistic approach.

Our creative programs built upon by our Life Enrichment Teams, are an essential component to maintaining cognitive health and quality of life for all our senior residents in memory care. Crafting lessens a senior’s anxiety and reduces feelings of isolation. Certain colors may even function as a bridge to bring back happy memories for seniors with dementia or Alzheimer’s.
