June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month, and today, June 21st, marks The Longest Day.
This occasion presents an opportune time to express gratitude to Mystic Valley Elder Services for visiting our Medford site. As an Alzheimer's/Dementia specialized facility, our Medford site provides the highest level of care. Staff from Mystic Valley Elder Services had the opportunity to experience our Magic Table while learning more about our facility.
In addition to our Medford site, our other two sites also work with participants and families affected by Alzheimer's/Dementia. Today, on The Longest Day, we acknowledge the tireless efforts of caregivers who selflessly provide love and care. We recognize your dedication and are committed to supporting you.

MVES and TCF partnered on a grant that enabled purchasing the “Magic Table” for TCF’s site. Using sophisticated sensors and a projector, interactive games are projected onto the table. The games can be played individually or in groups and are shown to provide physical, cognitive, social, and sensory benefits. Thank you to Executive Office of Aging & Independence for the Caregiver Innovation Grant that made this possible, and to the table's creator, Tover!
