For Residential Homes: Our homes are filled with objects that hold personal memories, such as letters from loved ones or a toy from childhood. Putting these items in a memory box is a perfect way of presenting objects and the memories associated with them. CLICK HERE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
For Nursing Homes: We provide solid wood Memory Boxes and Display Cases that are designed to help meet the needs of residents suffering from memory loss. Our cases are designed to stimulate the memory by displaying cherished items in a safe and familiar way. Stimulating the memory has shown to reduce behavioral issues such as: getting lost within the facility, memory, and daily functions. Alzheimers.org recommends that childhood items are the best selection in building a memory box to help "re-orient" the resident to their surroundings, it also evokes fond memories of their youth and personal interests.
Each cases is handmade by our experienced craftsman and available in Oak or Walnut woods, we use two coats of lacquer on our finishes.
Federal and/or state regulations generally require plexiglas or safety (tempered) glass in cases that are used in public areas. We offer either selection, and recommend tempered glass for long term durability. Our standard cases have hinged, saftey glass or plexiglass locking front doors to provide easy access for changes in content. All cases are keyed the same, eliminating the need for separate key identification. The interior depth of the standard cases is 1 ¼”.
We can provide two types of interior treatments: Felt can be glued to the back of the case, providing a firm surface with full use of the interior depth case can be custom fitted with a one inch thick layer of soft foam, which can be covered in felt. Items can be easily attached to the felt using velcro, tacks or straight pins. Most facilities have the maintenance department drill the case into the wall for a secure and reusable Memory Care Box. Each and every resident will benefit from the therapeutic memory stimulation and families are sure to appreciate the care taken for their loved one by your facility.
