It may seem that this Laundry Life Station may dredge up some not-so-pleasant memories of times past. After all, who really ever enjoyed doing the wash. But you will be surprised! Memories are therapeutic, even memories of past activities that we may not have been terribly fond of at the time.

All of our stations were carefully developed with help from the nation’s leading memory care programs. These stations provide therapy through productive engagement and reminiscing about past activities.

Life Skill Stations, like this Laundry Skills Life Station, are a fairly new concept in dementia care, though savvy carers have long used the notion as part of their practice. These environments are designed to be interactive, to arouse thoughts of good times past, to stimulate creative processes, and to nurture social interaction. The result of all of that is improved quality of life.

Washing and drying laundry can be an arduous task, and though the process is greatly simplified here it does provide a good amount of movement and physical activity. We know exercise is good for us all.

What are Life Stations?

Each station is fashioned around a hobby or household chore that almost everyone will recognize. All come with a package of accessories that correspond to the theme of the station and make activity even more realistic.

Life Stations not only create an atmosphere that is engaging and ideal for reminiscing, they also encourage meaningful activity that can provide a sense of normalcy. This Laundry Life Station is from a line of products that are made-to-order. They have a lead time of approximately 5-6 weeks from the time you place your order.
