In this episode we will hear poetry that was created by participants in The Jewish Community Center's "Alzheimer's Care and Enrichment" program, better known as "ACE". ACE is a respite program designed specifically for people with Alzheimer's Disease or related conditions. The program offers those with Alzheimer's an opportunity to engage in social and recreational activities. ACE promotes a sense of community and self-worth.
