Spotlight on Resources: Living With Grace Engagement Program for Older Adults


Listen Later

Steve Gurney from the Positive Aging Community interviewed Katie McQuaid, author of the "Everybody Loves Grace" book series, and Tyra Hunter from Care Partners. The "Everybody Loves Grace" series, initially intended for children, has found a unique place in senior care. The books are used in reminiscence therapy, helping seniors recall past experiences and engage socially. The program also includes a plush toy of Grace, the dog from the series, which provides comfort and stimulates conversation. The books are also available in audio format for those with vision impairments. The program has been praised for its versatility and its ability to facilitate connections across generations.
