Happy New Year! Aspen Village this holiday season had a resident led Christmas choir and concert.  We submitted this activity for a contest being held by the International Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners and the Center for Applied Research in Dementia (Dr. Cameron Camp’s organization). You can truly see the engagement and meaning this choir brought and continues to bring to the residents in it and those they sing for.  A big thanks to the Aspen Team who supported the resident choir on their musical journey this holiday season.
