| Because NewCourtland knows that life should be
varied, fun and sometimes unpredictable, it has developed the Comfort
& Joy program, which is coordinated through the recreational departments
in each facility. This arts and entertainment initiative brings children
and young professionals into the facilities to work and play with
the residents. It also brings an array of performance artists. |

Through
the Art is Ageless initiative, the seniors in the NewCourtland facilities
are given exciting opportunities to work with professional artists,
be creative, and maintain a voice out in the larger community. Their
accomplishments can be seen through a Photography Project, done with
students from The Art Institute, Mosaic Murals, displayed in one facility
that tell parts of the stories of their lives, and other projects
such as Talking Quilts, Memory Boxes, and the Sacred Village.
This past year, seniors form one facility worked
with grade school students and professional musicians and animators
to produce "Joy and Wisdom: Sharing EldersŐ Stories", which aired
on HBO Family and brought national recognition to NewCourtland programs
