Competency Creativity Compassion Connection

How creative engagement benefits your loved one
Seniors, particularly those living with dementia, benefit immensely from non-medical, holistic approaches that nurture the mind, body, and spirit. At Aruga Home Care, we use creative engagement as a core component of our care model to help seniors thrive.
Personalized, in home engagement
Every session is customized to match your loved one’s personality, abilities, and interests.
Our caregivers bring warmth and creativity into each visit, whether it’s painting together, sharing stories, listening to favourite songs, or engaging in hands-on projects that spark joy and connection.
Enhancing cognitive & emotional well-being
Creative engagement stimulates memory recall and brain activity, helping slow cognitive decline.
Studies show that arts-based activities reduce agitation, anxiety, and restlessness, common in dementia.
Maintaining identity & purpose
Dementia changes memory, but it doesn’t erase creativity.
Activities like painting, crafting, and storytelling help seniors express who they are, fostering confidence and joy.
Building stronger family connections
Creative engagement creates shared moments between seniors and their loved ones, helping families connect beyond caregiving tasks.
Many families find that participating in creative activities together brings back moments of laughter, storytelling, and emotional closeness.
A natural, non-medical approach to care
Studies show that creative engagement can reduce the need for certain behavioral medications, offering a gentle, side-effect-free alternative.
Our caregivers are trained to use creative techniques to de-escalate stress and frustration, making daily care smoother and more fulfilling.
Encouraging independence & confidence
Engaging in creative activities empowers seniors to make choices and decisions, reinforcing their sense of autonomy.
Small, achievable projects help build self-esteem, giving seniors a sense of accomplishment and control over their daily lives.
