"Creative Aging programs make everyone in the room get their hands clapping and their feet tapping as they sing along with songs that bring back so many memories. The members have quoted time and time again " Can we have them back again?", "I haven't heard that song in years!" and "I think he touched every key on that piano!". A. Williams (Activity Professional)
"Our clients really enjoy the programs and are challenged to remember the musical trivia. It's true entertainment and fellowship for them along with stimulation for their total wellness" N. Stegbauer (Activity Professional)
"Creative Aging has exposed the seniors to outstanding artists in all medium forms. The seniors have experienced the opportunity to express the silent artist within themselves. Their artistic expression has come through the music programs and art projects. The history and culture programs provide the seniors with educational opportunities." L. Melzer- (Cincinnati Recreation Commission professional)
"It is such an addition to our limited program budget to have the ability to bring in professional in-facility programs to our members, especially those who are too frail or confused to participate in the field trip when we attend the large group programs." J. Miller (Activity Professional)
"We all tend to use the same musical entertainers over and over. We are always excited to find a new entertainer. Your program allows us to offer more diversity to our members as well as the ability to use a professional in their field. I remember the day we enjoyed Cheryl Renee perform. She blew us away that afternoon and the members could not stop talking about it. I remember the comments, "Wow! She was great; I have never heard anyone sing like that before. When can we have her back again?" I know, if not for the programming at my center, my folks would not have had the opportunity to hear the blues performed like that. A lot of my folks do not always get to church or anywhere for that matter. It is quite a treat to have these choices." S. Cottingim (Activity Professional)
"They were engaged from the moment I started playing. They were fun and enthusiastic. A good time had by all. " P. Papania (artist)
"Our members have really enjoyed all the programs through Creative Aging and I must say that I find it fantastic to be able to "one stop shop" for a variety of programs". A. Breidenbach (Activity Professional)
