SUMMARY:Elder HeART Tour
DESCRIPTION:
 MSU MUSEUM TO LAUNCH 'ELDER HEART' PROGRAM\n
 The 
 MSU Museum Education Team has begun training 
 to create an Elder HeART Program, providing 
 guided museum experiences for people living 
 with Alzheimer's disease and dementia, and their 
 caregivers.\n
  \n
 The programs offers ways 
 engage individuals with dementia using art and 
 museum objects --  with groups or one-on-one, 
 with caregivers and families -- in ways that 
 help people living with the degenerative disease 
 find a creative, expressive outlet and 
 a forum for dialogue. Specially trained Museum 
 docents will work with participants in the 
 early and middle stages of the disease using 
 techniques where museum objects are key to prompting 
 memory, association, reflection and 
 discussion.\n
 \n
 The first tour for people living 
 with dementia and their caregivers is planned 
 for Friday, Dec. 7, 2-3 p.m. Space is limited 
 and pre-registration is required. Contact 
 (517) 432-1472.\n\n
