Night Coloring in Memory Care: A Calming and Cognitive Boost by BICKFORD OF BATTLE CREEK. Before bedtime, our residents in Memory Care enjoy **night coloring sessions**—a simple yet powerful activity that nurtures both the mind and spirit. Coloring is more than just art; it’s a therapeutic exercise that: * **Stimulates the Brain:** Engaging in coloring activates fine motor skills, enhances focus, and supports cognitive function, which is especially beneficial for individuals with memory challenges. * **Promotes Relaxation:** The rhythmic motion of coloring reduces anxiety and creates a sense of calm, helping residents transition peacefully into rest. * **Encourages Creativity and Expression:** Even in later stages of memory care, creative outlets allow residents to express themselves in meaningful ways. This activity is possible because of our **dedicated caregivers**, who ensure every resident feels supported and valued. They patiently assist, encourage participation, and create a warm, comforting environment where residents can thrive. Their commitment goes beyond care—it’s about **connection, dignity, and joy**.

Today we had a special visit from Colleen, a beauty consultant from Mary Kay, who brought a touch of glam to our community! She came with samples of blush, lip gloss, and eyeshadow for each resident to choose from — and our team had so much fun helping apply their favorite shades. From soft pinks to bold shines, our residents loved being pampered and feeling fabulous. It’s amazing what a little makeup and a lot of smiles can do! Thank you to the wonderful Colleen for bringing joy, confidence, and a whole lot of sparkle to our day! #Residentengagement #Montessoriinspiredlifestyle #Activityprofessionals #Carepartners #Selfcare #Seniorcare
