Lexington SC Agape Assisted Living Uses Innovative Arts program

What is Mneme Therapy® and how can it benefit our senior residents on independent/assisted living campuses?

Art Without Boundaries®, a professional association with a mission to improve the quality of life for individuals with autism, Alzheimer's disease, and other related disorders of the brain by promoting Mneme Therapy, is a regular program provided at Agape Senior’s Lexington Campus.

Mneme Therapy® uses everyday pleasures such as singing, movement, painting and storytelling in a unique combination to stimulate dramatic changes in the brain. Although the goal is to provide a rewarding experience, documented testimonies show significant improvement in some clients in verbal skills, mobility, level of combativeness, and understanding instructions.



Dana Warwick, a certified therapist from Art Without Boundaries® Association, came to Agape Senior Lexington in late 2010 to work with our seniors on the pleasures of painting. Each painting is a masterpiece and treasure to the resident and applauded by his/her family.

Dana stated, "I try to put each senior at ease and encourage every stroke of the brush; when I walk in the doors of Agape Senior anticipating a creative and enriching time with some new friends, I leave blessed and inspired by their willingness to give it a try.”

Melba Allard, Regional Vice President of Marketing for the Midlands, states, "I am impressed that most, if not all, of the seniors has never painted before and are so surprised when they see how professional the completed painting looks.”

What a precious privilege to be given the opportunity to brighten someone's day and to give them praise for their efforts and applause for the finished product. “The paintings become a tangible keepsake for their loved one,” says Dana.

Agape Senior has these colorful and unique paintings displayed around the Campus. The residents were proud to sign and name their creations. Go by and view them at 5422 Augusta Road, Lexington, SC.
