Music to Your Years
This month, we’re diving deep and talking about the dynamic effects that music can have on memory, mood, and overall happiness for seniors. Follow along on our social media to see how music is a tremendous part of our programming here at Vineyard Bluffton!

April Happenings
Therapy Dog Visit
Our memory care residents got a special visit from Denali Blue the therapy dog.
Easter Festivities
We had an action packed Easter week at Vineyard Bluffton. We kicked off the week with some fun crafts, followed by our scavenger hunt, and brunch with resident families!
Thanks for celebrating spring with us!
From cardio drumming to dance parties to our many guests with guitars, we are looking forward to celebrating spring with plenty of musical activities. Music can provide numerous benefits for older adults with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Plus, music can be used to help your loved one access memories or past experiences and improve communication.
