Reviving Memories: Inside America's First Therapy Town for Dementia Patients

Glen's Town Square in Southern California is a pioneering approach to dementia care, modeled after a 1960s town. This therapy center utilizes reminiscence therapy to help individuals with dementia reconnect with their most vivid memories. This approach proves beneficial as patients often remember long-past events while forgetting recent ones. The site not only supports those with Alzheimer's and other cognitive disorders but also offers respite and support to overburdened family caregivers. Structured activities and a lively, familiar environment aim to provide joy and a sense of peace despite the challenges of dementia.
