"I was totally amazed by the quality of the paintings and the long term results of this remarkable program. The family members were thrilled with this beautiful tribute to their loved one, our residents were proud of their work and enjoyed the attention. The program provides an opportunity to have our patient's stories told and lives celebrated. I highly recommend this program." RN, Director of Programming Dementia Services, LTC, S.C.

From Health Care Providers
"We were all amazed at the difference in our
patient. He was withdrawn and anti-social and
after he participated in your program began
joining in the activities and visiting with others.
We love this program."
RN, Adult Day Center, Florida
"Art Without Boundaries has been a huge
asset to our facility. Family members come to
me beaming with pride when they see their
loved ones' paintings and the improvements
they've seen. This is the most positive
response we've ever gotten from any
program."
Administrator, ALF, Florida
"The husband of a former day care patient
returned to show us the framed painting his
wife painted with Art Without Boundaries. He
told us this painting brought the family comfort
at her passing and continues to be a source
of joy and happiness to him."
Manager, Adult Day Center, FL

has done for our facility. Our residents, our

From Caregivers and Friends
"This Gala was a high point in my father's life. He
was thrilled to have his painting chosen and to
be honored in this way. Thank you for wonderful
gift you've given my family of seeing Dad excited
about life again."
Daughter, Ohio
"To see the wonderful work all our people can
do is just wonderful. It is a beautiful gift to pass
on to our children and grandchildren. The
paintings are the most valuable thing we can
give them. They are done with love, and that is
want we want our family to remember. The
wonderful, warm, loving husband, father,
grandfather, and friend they all love. Thank you
for all your wonderful work with all our people at
the center. "
Wife, Adult Day Center, FL
"Thanks for all your help. Keep up what your
doing, it's working wonders. I think it's a shame
when someone comes down with a disability
(whether it's mental or physical), most of those
they thought to be friends, disappear. I have
another friend whose mother was a very active,
vibrant individual (more astute and involved than
her daughter), all kinds of activities, committees,
senior groups, always getting little gifts for those
more senior then she was, my friend told me
when it was apparent she had Alzheimer's, not
one person called her. As I told her, it's
ignorance, to the disease and I feel it's fear, they
realize it could be themselves one day.
Fortunately there are some who are true friends,
and offer whatever support they can."
Friend of patient, MD

"My husband is so unbelievably proud of his
paintings. I framed them and put them in the
bedroom and he looks at them all the time.
When anyone comes to the house they have to
come and see them. He never painted before.
They are so important to him and have helped
him so much. Thank you!"
