A Warm Welcome to

Maria’s Place!

Dear Friends,

I am thrilled to welcome you to Maria’s Place, a space dedicated to bringing joy, purpose, and meaningful engagement to older adults. Whether you are here as an older adult, activity professional, a family member, or simply someone seeking inspiration, thank you for being part of our community. At Maria’s Place, we believe that every stage of life is an opportunity to connect, learn, and grow.

Our mission is to empower seniors to stay engaged and maintain a sense of purpose by offering a variety of activities and resources that are simple, practical, and enjoyable. From creative activities like arts, crafts and creative writing, to brain teasers such as word games, quizzes, and memory games. If you are looking for dementia-friendly activities, our materials are designed with inclusivity and accessibility in mind and many are adaptable for different ability levels.

Our journey began with a passion for creating meaningful experiences for older adults, particularly those facing cognitive or physical challenges. We are always working to make Maria’s Place even more valuable to you. Your feedback, stories, and ideas continue to inspire the tools and content we create.

On our website, you’ll find:

• A wide range of free and easy-to-use activity ideas that cater to different interests and abilities.
• Step-by-step guides and videos to help you adapt activities for individuals or groups.
• A blog with practical tips and stories to support caregivers in creating positive moments with their loved ones.
• A growing collection of tools to help foster social connections, creativity, and well-being.

Thank you for joining us on this journey to enrich the lives of older adults everywhere. Together, we can celebrate the joy of connection and creativity.

With warm regards,

Maria
