About Us

The Farrell Family

The Carolyn L. Farrell Foundation for Brain Health was established in 2011 when the Farrell Family saw a need in the community. In caring for Carol, wife and mother, we found that there are few activity based programs for people living at home with dementia/Alzheimer’s. We wanted to bring programming to the community in order to help support people’s treatment plan and management of their illness. Our programs are largely arts based and focus on multi-sensory elements. The human senses centered in the brain preserve abilities well into the disease process.

It is often assumed that people with dementia can not participate in daily life activities anymore, and that is not true. When we create activities that are accessible, individuals thrive and find joy in the experience. People with dementia can create, imagine, and have fun.

Most importantly, isolation is a large contributing factor to increasing the pain and difficulty of having dementia. Our programs are designed to decrease isolation and increase socialization with community support.

We are so grateful to have been introduced to the Carolyn L. Farrell Foundation by our doctor. Each week, we look forward to attending the engaging and meaningful activities at the Detroit Road location. Every visit begins with a warm welcome and heartfelt support from the dedicated staff and volunteers who make this community so special. Our family has also enjoyed taking part in larger events, including the Annual Gala and a memorable drumming evening with Billy. Being part of this community has been a true blessing, offering connection, creativity, and care in every experience.
