Columbia Assisted Living Christmas Card Featuring Dementia Resident Artwork

The winter scene in our Holiday card above was painted by an Agapé Senior resident at our Lexington community.

Art is an expression of us; it can depict our moods: our joy, our sadness, our excitement, our love. The Art without Boundaries program offered at Agapé Senior communities brings the restorative powers of art to our dementia residents, allowing them to communicate in ways that have been lost in their words, reasoning, and logic. The creation of anything beautiful has universal appeal, and for those with dementia, helps to bridge the gap between their world and ours.
