Assisted Living Storytelling Sessions

A program offering regular storytelling sessions in assisted living facilities, where residents share their life stories with trained facilitators.

Service contracts with assisted living facilities, or pay-per-session fees for families.

Problem Solved

Many residents feel isolated and have no platform to share their experiences, leading to a lack of engagement and joy. Current engagement activities in facilities often lack personalization and do not focus on capturing the unique stories of individuals.

Skills Required

Facilitation and storytelling skills, marketing to healthcare facilities, event planning, and customer service.

Why this works now

The increase in remote engagement tools, such as Zoom and similar platforms, allows assisted living facilities to offer storytelling sessions even when in-person meetings are not feasible. A practical first-revenue move could involve listing services in local chamber-of-commerce directories to connect with facility administrators. However, the program may face challenges in maintaining consistent engagement due to the varying interest levels among residents and potential resistance from facility staff who may prioritize traditional activities.
