Purposeful activity is essential to the Montessori approach to activity programming in our Mary B’s Symphony. Here, Ellie, helps organize our yarn, which we utilize for crafts. It feels good, at any age, to complete a task and we appreciated her help.

Book Club Moments in Mary B’s Symphony. Resident Dawn led our most recent book club session, reading aloud and sharing insights. This thoughtful gathering reflects our commitment to person-centered engagement and the Montessori approach, which we credit the Center for Applied Research in Dementia for teaching us as we continue on our journey to achieving a gold certification in a Montessori lifestyle for our residents in Memory Care. Our book club isn’t just about reading—it’s about purpose and connection. Way to go, Dawn! #MaryBsSymphony #MontessoriForDementia #BookClubJoy #ResidentLed #CenterForAppliedResearchInDementia #PurposefulLiving

Thank you to Helen, of Brightstar Home Care, for leading a very in-depth Bible study. Residents in both our Assisted Living and Mary B’s Symphony attended it. It was as a very meaningful message. Bickford of Virginia Beach Assisted Living and Memory Care

Recently, a combination of Bickford of Virginia Beach Mary B’s Symphony residents and assisted living residents enjoyed the thrill of bike riding with an innovative group in our area, “Spinclusion”. They have bikes that can also adapt to hold a wheelchair. Fresh air and sunshine and FUN! are like natural medicine! Bickford of Virginia Beach Assisted Living and Memory Care

In Mary B’s Symphony, sorting activities are a purposeful way to support our residents. These simple tasks help keep minds engaged, reduce anxiety, and bring a sense of accomplishment. Bickford of Virginia Beach Assisted Living and Memory Care
