Melissa Dillon

VP of Memory Care, SRG Senior Living

One of the most impressive aspects of Aegeliss was its commitment to creating practical solutions that support both quality of life and quality of care. The team's willingness to partner with our community, seek feedback, and continuously refine their offerings demonstrated a genuine dedication to improving the experience of older adults and those who care for them.

Your puzzles are the most popular activity families use when they visit. The smiles on their face told us everything. 

Emily Campbell

Activity Director, Heritage of Hudson

Our residents love it! One resident worked on the puzzles for about 45 minutes—much longer than her usual 10–15 minutes. The residents really liked the images, too. We have a similar puzzle, but its pieces were flimsier and broke fairly quickly, so I liked that the cardboard pieces in this puzzle were sturdier. The number of pieces was a good fit, too.

Kelly Chiat

Active Living Director, Memory Care

My coordinators have been using it with residents and have been very impressed with the engagement it generates. We left it on display in the club room, and residents will often stop by, pick it up, and start working on it independently or with others. My coordinators would definitely give it two thumbs up.

Sade Estemonu

Community Relations Director, The Bellingham at Orchard by Cogir

We’ve had a great experience using Aegeliss puzzles in our memory care community. The larger pieces are easy to handle, and residents enjoy the sense of accomplishment when completing a puzzle. It’s a wonderful design that encourages engagement and conversation.

Tisha Parsley

Cedar Creek Memory Care

One of my residents is usually very fidgety and wants to stand up and move around. I gave her the puzzles, and she sat for about 30–35 minutes working on one. It really helped her relax and calm down.

She told me she’d been to both places and shared all about her visits. These puzzles have been very helpful for our busy residents and a few of our nonverbal residents.

Your Questions, Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Practical ideas for supporting independence, making engagement easier, and bringing residents, staff and families together.

As an experienced Activity Director, I enjoy sourcing materials and creating programs. Why should I consider Aegeliss?

Your creativity and knowledge of your residents make your programs personal. Aegeliss complements that work with ready-to-use tools that extend engagement beyond the activity calendar: after dinner, during family visits, or when another care team member needs an approachable activity to offer.

Our puzzle books open in seconds, with optional picture templates, an invitation sign, and conversation prompts included. These features make it easier for staff and families to introduce memory care activities and adjust the guidance. Your team gains another resource for inviting independent enjoyment, shared connection, and satisfying moments of focus—even when you are not there to lead.

What is a flow state, and why does it matter for my residents?

A flow state is the experience of becoming deeply absorbed in an enjoyable activity, when the challenge feels well matched to your abilities. Think of the satisfaction of working on something that holds your attention and makes you want to continue.

For residents, opportunities for enjoyable focus can create meaningful moments of choice, accomplishment, and pride. Aegeliss puzzles offer adjustable visual guidance to help care partners find a comfortable starting point. We have personally observed one person living with mid-stage dementia remain absorbed in puzzling for two hours. That is an individual experience, not a promised outcome; the goal of senior living activities is meaningful enjoyment, whether it lasts a few minutes or much longer.

Are Aegeliss labels good for nursing homes or adult family homes?

Yes. Aegeliss Home & Routine Labels can support everyday routines in nursing homes, adult family homes, assisted living, and memory care communities. Clear words and recognizable pictures help identify where clothing, towels, and other frequently used belongings belong.

Choose labels that are meaningful to the resident, place them where they are easy to see, and introduce them during familiar routines. They give care partners a consistent visual reference while creating opportunities for residents to find, choose, and put away items themselves. Use them alongside the person’s usual support, and follow product care instructions and your community’s cleaning requirements.

How can Aegeliss help make family visits more enjoyable and memorable?

Families sometimes arrive wanting to connect but unsure what to say or do. A shared puzzle gives them an inviting starting point: admire the landscape, find a matching piece, or explore a conversation prompt together.

Aegeliss combines adult-appropriate scenery with optional picture templates and a discussion guide, making activities for people with dementia easier for families to introduce. There is no need to test memory or finish the puzzle. The visit can center on shared enjoyment, giving families moments to appreciate and something familiar to return to next time.

Do you offer bulk purchase discounts or support beyond product purchases?

Yes. We offer bulk purchase discounts and can help you explore product selections, community gifts, and pilot opportunities based on your goals. Whether you are refreshing assisted living activities, adding visual support to resident rooms, or planning move-in gifts, we can discuss options that fit your community.

Send us a note below with your priorities, estimated quantities, and timeline. We’ll prepare a personalized proposal and discuss any gift packaging or customization needs.

How can senior living activities support residents’ independence?

Senior living activities can support independence by giving residents opportunities to choose, begin, and participate with the right amount of help. Independence might mean completing a puzzle, selecting a piece, finding a sweater, or deciding what to do next.

Aegeliss combines adaptable activities with clear visual supports. Picture templates offer guidance during puzzling, while labels and room signs help residents locate belongings and recognize familiar spaces. Make useful cues easy to see, allow time to respond, and offer help as needed so residents can do more for themselves.

How do you adapt activities for people with dementia and different abilities?

Start with the person’s interests, abilities, and energy that day. Activities for people with dementia should offer different ways to participate, with guidance that makes the experience approachable and a challenge the person enjoys.

With Aegeliss puzzles, one resident may assemble pieces using the reference photograph, while another uses a picture template or matches colors. Others may enjoy exploring the scenery and talking with a companion. These options help your team welcome different abilities into the same activity. Follow each resident’s response and recognize their contributions, whether or not the puzzle is completed.

How can residents stay engaged when the Life Enrichment team is not available?

Prepare familiar activities that on-duty care partners, families, and volunteers can introduce easily. Keep materials accessible, provide clear guidance, and share what each resident enjoys and how much support they need.

An Aegeliss puzzle, invitation sign, and visible reference image can create a welcoming starting point between scheduled programs, during evenings, or on weekends. Included conversation prompts help visitors and staff join in. Some residents may choose to begin independently; others will benefit from an invitation or a companion, with supervision matched to their needs.
