A group of residents and staff recently enjoyed an outing to Maxwell's farm in Cape Elizabeth to pick strawberries. The outing was part of the facility's 'Strawberry Fest' celebrating the start of summer.
Like gardening, berry picking is a way for people with Alzheimer's disease to maintain a connection with the world around them. It is also a tool for eliciting conversation and retrieving memories of an individual's own berry picking or gardening experiences.
Following the outing residents, family members and staff had a Bar-B-Q. The feature dessert? Strawberry shortcake of course.
Looks like so much fun!
