A unique project at Watercrest Macon Assisted Living and Memory Care is honoring the wisdom and experience of senior residents by sharing their life lessons and advice for the generations to follow.

"Get your education," is the message spread by 94-year-old Helen Epps, one of the beloved residents of Watercrest Macon. Other senior insights involved finances, work ethic and the importance of family.

Watercrest provides seniors with the opportunity to express their individuality through their signature program, Artful Expressions. Designed with evidence-based research, Artful Expressions invites residents to celebrate their originality and imagination through a series of unique workshops including photography, poetry, painting, art history and performing arts. This particular project focuses on honoring the many experiences that molded each resident and offers an expression of individuality and opportunity to give back to their community with encouraging words.

"Self-expression is critical for our seniors mental and emotional well-being, and the therapeutic benefits of art can decrease anxiety and offer feelings of accomplishment," says Sheena Jeffries, Regional Director of Engagement at Watercrest Senior Living Group.

The Senior Wisdom project is capturing attention and gaining popularity throughout Watercrest Senior Living Communities as residents' images and 'pearls of wisdom' are shared amongst their community social media networks.
