Soothe Memory Matters with the Ocean County Library’s MEternally® Reminiscence Kits

TOMS RIVER – Families, friends and caregivers of loved ones living with conditions involving memory loss have a new tool to keep their connections strong. Ocean County Library Senior Services is pleased to offer MEternally® Reminiscence Kits for borrowing at all OCL branches.

The kits can offer stimulating and entertaining support for patients of Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s and Parkinson’s disease and other memory loss syndromes, as well as for caregivers and others who are close to them.

Each kit is thematic and filled with photos, booklets, games and other items that match topics such as “Favorite Things: Dogs,” “Favorite Things: Patriotic,” “Remembering the 1960s,” seasons, locales, household activities and many more.

The contents of each zippered kit includes themed photo and activity cards and videos available in DVD and flash drive versions.

Minnesota-based MEternally® is composed of people whose personal experiences and professional expertise with people affected by memory loss diseases form the basis for meaningful, thoughtful items designed for support. 

MEternally® Reminiscence Kits are available free of charge at all Ocean County Library branches and reading centers. See the full schedule of Library programs, services and resources on the OCL website.
