    • Art without Boundaries Program helps dementia patients at Rockland Place find their memories
    • Posted Jan. 11, 2012 midnight
    • Mildred Fertig, a resident at Rockland Place, always enjoyed painting at a very young age. But now, with late stage dementia, her memory of one of her favorite past times seemed long gone. Until Donna Teleis, a certified Art Without Boundaries therapist brought the innovative program to Rockland in June of 2011. “It is not art therapy but rather a psychological process,” said Teleis. The unusual form of therapy uses everyday pleasures such as singing, movement, painting and storytelling in a unique combination to stimulate dramatic changes in the brain.
