The Living Legacy Project partners with memory care communities to offer guided life-story sessions for residents with Alzheimer's, dementia, and cognitive decline. Our guides are trained for this work: patient, adaptable, and skilled at drawing out memories that are still there.
When a parent or grandparent is diagnosed with Alzheimer's or dementia, one of the first things families feel alongside grief and fear is urgency. The stories are still there. The voice is still there. But not for long.
Most families want to capture something. They don't know how to begin, and the emotional weight of the situation makes it even harder. The Living Legacy Project gives them a trained, compassionate guide to do it before the window closes.
Memory care is not the same as assisted living. Our guides adapt to each person's condition, energy, and communication style.
We understand how memory loss affects conversation, pacing, and story retrieval. We know how to ask questions that unlock preserved long-term memories even in residents with significant decline.
Sessions adapt to the resident's capacity on any given day: 15 minutes or 45, depending on energy, focus, and willingness. We never push past what's comfortable.
Long-term memories like childhood, early adulthood, and family moments are often more preserved than recent ones. We specialize in navigating there, drawing out stories the resident's own family has never heard.
Family members are welcome to observe or participate. Many families find their loved one engages differently with a neutral guide, often opening up to stories that didn't surface in family visits.
We work with your clinical team and the resident's family representative to confirm appropriate consent for each participant. Privacy and dignity are central to how we operate.
Your community earns a revenue share for each family enrolled through your referral link, automatically tracked and paid directly to your organization.
Every session becomes part of the family's private archive. Even five or six sessions of a loved one in early-stage dementia, captured before significant decline, becomes something the family treasures forever.
Every session lands in a password-protected family portal. Listen from any device, share with any family member, keep for life.
A memorial video, printed book, podcast, or keepsake ordered from the archive at any time, on the family's timeline, even after care ends.
Families submit topics and memories through the portal. Our guide brings them into the next session, helping shape what gets captured each month.
A 20-minute call with your clinical director, activities coordinator, or administrator. We walk through our approach with memory care residents, consent protocols, and how the program fits your existing care structure.
A simple two-page agreement covering revenue share, session protocols, consent process, and how we interface with your care team. No exclusivity required.
We build a dedicated landing page for your community. Share it with families during move-in, in your family newsletter, or through care conferences. Enrollments are tracked automatically.
We schedule sessions in coordination with your clinical team around care routines, optimal time-of-day windows, and any clinical considerations. We need only a quiet room.
Sessions accumulate in the family's private archive. Your community receives a revenue share for each enrolled family, paid automatically with no paperwork.
