Horses come for a visit at Kindred-Milwaukee Memory Care Unit
I am the Program Coordinator at Kindred-Milwaukee on our Reflections Unit and I am always looking for ways to help my residents continue to find enjoyment in life and I'm always looking for ways to jar their memories. Well I think I helped succeed both of these by teaming up with Milwaukee County Hillside Horse and Horseless 4-H Club. On August 16th Char Elhert brought 2 of her horses to our facility so the residents could feed them and they were even able to lead them by the reins. Wow, what a moment it was! All the reminising I was listening to was priceless. Many residents were saying how they use to own a horse, or how they use to ride all the time, or how it reminded them of their childhood. It was a very special day for all!
