Everyone loves the taste of ice cream, especially on hot summer days. But familiar tastes and smells can also be a powerful trigger for memories. For seniors living in long-term care, the chance to revisit happy memories, and to remember all that they’ve experienced and accomplished in their lives is a sweet treat indeed. For those with dementia, a familiar treat can sometimes even help them access parts of their brain not yet afflicted by the disease, and connect with cherished memories.  As ice cream is not part of the regular menu in subsidized long-term care homes, this gift will buy special treats to bring back smiles for seniors in need.
