How to use

  • With Family
  • In Memory Care
  • In Therapy

Pull out Golden Memories at a family gathering, holiday dinner, or a quiet afternoon visit.

Draw a card, give your loved one time to reflect, and listen. The stories that come up often surprise even the closest families.

Golden Memories works well for group activity sessions in assisted living and memory care settings. Facilitators read a prompt aloud and invite residents to share.

The prompts draw on long-term memory, which is often better preserved than short-term memory. Works with groups of 2 to 10+, with no prep required.

Use Golden Memories as a reminiscence therapy tool in individual or group sessions with older adult clients.

The prompts open up autobiographical memory in a warm, conversational way, making it easier for clients to engage, reflect, and connect.

FAQ

Is this appropriate for someone with dementia or Alzheimer's?

Golden Memories is designed with older adults in mind, including those in early to moderate stages of cognitive decline. The prompts are open-ended and draw on long-term autobiographical memory, which is often better preserved than short-term memory. We recommend starting with simpler prompts and reading them aloud. Use your judgment for individual needs.

How many people can play?

Golden Memories works well for 2 to 10+ people. It's ideal for one-on-one conversations between a caregiver or family member and an older adult, and equally effective in small group settings like activity rooms or family gatherings.

Are the cards easy to read for older adults with vision difficulties?

Yes. The cards feature a large, high-contrast font specifically chosen for readability. We designed them with older adults in mind, including those with mild vision impairment.

Can care facility staff use this without any training?

Absolutely. Golden Memories requires no facilitation training and no setup. Cards can be drawn randomly or selected intentionally based on the group. A brief tip sheet is included to help activity directors and care staff get started quickly.

What kinds of memories do the prompts cover?

The 160 prompts span a wide range of life experiences — childhood, work, family traditions, travel, hobbies, food, and more. They're intentionally broad to be relevant across generations and backgrounds, while staying warm and non-triggering.
