Donor Appreciation - April 2024

Pine Haven is deeply thankful for the donations empowering our Memory Care Center, making the REINS program and Virtual Dementia Tour possible.

Generous donations have enabled Pine Haven's Memory Care Center to offer two unique opportunities for our residents: REINS equine assisted services and an immersive Virtual Dementia Tour training for staff.

 Here is a glimpse of our residents caring for the various horses in the program. 

Voices from the Virtual Dementia Tour: Staff Insights

• Denise C. : “I now have more empathy for our residents and others who experience this daily and believe that everyone could benefit from this kind of learning opportunity. I am grateful I had the chance to participate.”

• Michelle W : “This experience reminded me that their world is very different from ours. Noises and other distractions affect them more than I realized.”

• Maddie P. :“It was a real eye-opener to see what our residents struggle with. It was hard not being able to hear well; I was confused, and it made doing any tasks near impossible.”
