Watercrest Myrtle Beach Honors Residents' Life Stories 'With These Hands'

VERO BEACH, Fla., Oct. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- At Watercrest Myrtle Beach Assisted Living and Memory Care, a unique art project is highlighting the individual stories of each resident by focusing on the hands that created those lifelong memories.

In captivating black and white photos, the images of each resident's hands are pictured alongside a few words describing the memories that those hands hold in their lines and curves.  "With these hands, I've written many letters of recommendation enabling children to go to college," reads one image. The photographs provoke heartwarming images of raising children, enabling careers and reminiscing on warm embraces and cherished moments.

Watercrest provides seniors with the opportunity to express their individuality through their signature program, Artful Expressions. Designed with evidence-based research, Artful Expressions invites residents to celebrate their originality and imagination through a series of unique workshops including photography, poetry, painting, art history and performing arts.

"Self-expression is critical for our seniors mental and emotional well-being, and the therapeutic benefits of art can decrease anxiety and offer feelings of accomplishment," says Sheena Jeffries, Regional Director of Engagement at Watercrest Senior Living Group.
