What a Picture is Worth

INNOVATION and retaining the finest often go hand-in-hand.  At Azura Memory Care of Eau Claire some very innovative team members came up with the idea of holding photo shoots complete with backdrops and special dress up props to take unique pictures of our residents. Team members utilized items from our purposeful destinations in our home and even took the initiative to bring in special items from home including flowers, bows, hats, necklaces and top hats.  They help the residents choose items that appeal to them. In the above photo, this resident was drawn to the red flower.  She picked it up, smelled it and tried to put it on herself.  One of the team members helped secure it in her hair and showed her the results in the mirror.  Upon seeing her reflection she beamed and said, "beautiful." They say that a picture is worth 1,000 words, but in this this picture and the joy surrounding it was priceless.
