Wellness with a Smile
Roy is a decorated World War II veteran who was a pilot in service to our country. After the war he kept flying as his job and also for fun. But now he is coping with dementia and has found help at Shepherd House, a special program at St. Ann Center for all ages. His wife, who has been his primary caregiver, was trying to balance his needs with her own struggle with recurrent cancer. So Shepherd House is a great relief for her and a secure, loving daycare for her husband.
Roy requires almost full care from the staff for his basic needs, but he continues to enjoy cowboy movies, loves music and has joined the music group at the center. As part of the wellness program offered at the center he also receives whirlpool baths and takes advantage of the new dental hygiene program. At St. Ann Center its service and being served with a big, healthy smile!
