Religion Makes Difference
in Dementia Patients' Lives |
| |
|
| |
Janet Aldrich leads a worship service in an
80-person memory care unit in Evanston, IL. She explains the
continued value of religion for Alzheimer's patients, despite
the disease. "A lot of it is just about reaching back to the
most deep seeded memories because those last almost throughout
the lifetime," said Aldrich.
When
songs and scriptures begin, she explained, many of those with
dementia sit unresponsive. But during the service many residents
lift their eyes... and start to sing. People who cannot
remember their own children's names remember the words to
familiar hymns. They recite the Lord's Prayer and other
well-known parts of worship. Aldrich calls this "spiritual
memory."
