Suzanne Faith, RN, BS Psych, is the Director of Client Services with Alzheimer’s services. She traveled to New York to observe MoMA’s program firsthand and learn techniques for implementation from Mr. Parsa.
Upon her return, Suzanne began working with museum educators at the Cape Cod Museum of Art in Dennis to help establish an ongoing program for the local Alzheimer’s community.
The CCMA program provides an opportunity for individuals with memory impairment to engage not only with the art but also with other caregivers and peers.
The CCMA program meets the third Monday of each month at 1 p.m. Pre-registration is required to participate; please call 508-385-4477 ext: 16 to register.
