Cerna Healthcare

Cerna specializes in memory care for those with Alzheimer’s and dementia. Gardening can be an enjoyable outdoor activity for people at all stages of dementia as a means of exercise for the body and the brain. Cerna caregivers vary the activity to suit the care recipient's abilities. Whether gardening potted plants, or tending to a lawn or garden, activities like planting, pruning, weeding, and raking can help strengthen the body's muscles, improve breathing and grow smiles.😀

Try this easy craft for seniors with dementia: Cerna Homecare care recipients enjoy the feel of *play dough in their hands. Making shapes and kneading it is a fun and relaxing activity for all ages. Grab cookie cutters too & watch your older adult have a ball! DIYer? Search online for homemade play dough recipes. ❗️ *Play dough is not edible and can contain bacteria.

At Cerna we grieve and empathize with our clients when their loved one dies. Maria, a sweet Cerna care recipient, passed away last week. Her daughter Lisa texted Cerna's Care Coordinator, Francine to thank her for her compassion and kindness. If time permitted Lisa would have loved to, "take you to lunch, or dinner, or drinks" to show her appreciation. You will be missed Maria.
💙 Cerna is grateful to have Francine Bueche on our team.
