Beauty of Nature

Smell is such an important part of us as human beings. In the deepest, most ancient part of our brains, lies our olfactive memory, where scent connections have been stored throughout our lives, often without us being aware that they are there until they are recalled.

Jeanie Melear, Lifestyle 360 Director, Morningside of Springdale, AR

Essential Awakenings with Ruth is a fun and important experience for residents at any facility. The scents that Ruth creates elicit memories for our residents, and inspire socialization through conversation about what scents appeal to which people... I am honored to incorporate Essential Awakenings into our programming; it adds so much to the sensory experience we hope to offer those in their last stage of life.
