Whether a family photo, teddy from when they were young, swatch of clothing from a loved one; memory boxes hold items that bring us back to a moment in time that we cherished. When a senior opens a memory box, it can stir thoughts of happy moments in life and give that person something to talk about with their family members or peers.

 

Benefits of making a memory box include ;

  1. Exercise, touch and other senses are used in the creation of a memory box
  2. Cherished memories of a loved ones history, personal interests and youth can be explored and opens up a way to many conversations.
  3. Memory boxes can inspire conversation with caregivers, children or grandchildren.
  4. More insight into your loved one and their past will be gained. When you search for keepsakes to include in a memory box, you may find special items you did not realize the senior still had or was interested in.
  5. Spurred creativity from the creation of a memory box. Excitement in completion of a task will spur the individual to try being creative in other aspects.

  • We had a very positive experience in all of our dealings with Virtue Integrated Care during the global pandemic. From the first phone call with the office to the nurse, Suzanne and the physio, we were impressed with the speed and efficiency of the service.

  • We were very happy with the service provided by Virtue Integrated Care. Your empathy and support was much appreciated especially at a time when I felt no one in the state services seemed to care or wanted to help. I think the Virtue Integrated Care business model is very innovative and will be a great success.
