My dad has been attending the Adult Cognitive Wellness Centre's Virtual Sessions since last May. With the sudden "stay-at-home" orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these meetings were a very welcome addition to our very limited routine. My dad is dealing with moderate dementia, and I was apprehensive at first over how he would react to the wellness sessions. He has loved every meeting though, and looks forward to them every week. Amy is an amazing facilitator and she has the participants active and lively for the full hour. They talk about everything under the sun, do fun quizzes and trivia, recount stories of their past adventures, and laugh - a lot. Having someone outside our family unit to interact with has been a blessing. Social connections are so important for people with dementia, and the pandemic has made all our normal activities impossible. For that one hour each week, my dad feels like he's gone out and spent time with people, and he is energized by it. He has developed his routine of 'getting ready' for the meeting and is always looking his best while eagerly waiting for the 'door' to open. We are so grateful for the Virtual Wellness Sessions.
