For retirement homes and assisted living
A weekly story program residents look forward to.
One screen in the activity room. Mai invites residents to take turns telling a story on a theme — a first job, a wedding, the old neighbourhood. Families get to hear what was said, and they thank you for it.
The form opens with “In a senior living community” selected. We will call you to plan a pilot.
The activity program
Weekly story circles
A group session on one screen. Residents take turns; nobody is put on the spot, and listening counts as taking part.
Individual memoirs
Private sessions for residents who want them, in their own language, building a life story over weeks.
Family video nights
Families come in to watch residents’ approved clips together. It tends to be the evening people talk about afterwards.
A kit for staff
A schedule, a plain-language consent kit, and a monthly family newsletter of residents’ stories — only with each resident’s consent.
Start small
A four-week pilot, then decide.
Weeks 1 to 4
Four weekly story circles
We bring the setup and the consent kit. Your activity team brings the residents and the tea.
End of the pilot
One family video night
Residents and families watch the approved clips together.
After
A monthly program, if it earned its place
$30 per participating resident per month, with a $750 a month minimum. The four-week pilot is free. Founding prices — checkout opens soon.
Optional: reading and math worksheets
The story program can be paired with a Kumon worksheet program for seniors — short reading and math sheets, run by a Kumon instructor we work with — for residents who enjoy keeping their minds busy.
The same consent rules, for every resident
Each resident is asked individually, out loud, and can say no or change their mind. Nothing reaches a family or a newsletter without that resident’s recorded yes. Read the rules.
What this is not
It is an activity program for enjoyment and connection. It is not a medical product, a therapy or a treatment, and we make no health claims.
Bring a story circle to your community
Fifteen minutes on the phone is enough to see whether it fits your residents and your calendar.
