Creating Vibrant Days

MISSION STATEMENT

You can tell a lot from a mission statement. I believe so deeply in this mission that I made the statement the business name. Creating Vibrant Days. It's my mission...pure and simple. I create affordable, vibrant activities that produce fun and engaging moments that bring tremendous impacts to the brain. My videos allow you to put the stress of planning a robust activity schedule and gathering assessment data behind so you can focus on making every day a best day. While created with a group setting in mind, these activities work great individually as well. I will always look for ways to improve the memory care experience. Let’s make history by ensuring that ALL people living with dementia live vibrant lives.

Our Team

Beverly Smith, Founder—Content Creator

This program was created based on my experience as an Activities Director in a memory care unit. My days were spent on the floor and I spent hours each night searching for engaging activities. I was exhausted and dejected, to say the least. Many programs and books only provide ideas that are created to check a box rather than engage and there is very little in-industry training on how to actually implement activities. I decided to utilize my lifetime of experiences to create a program that focused on creating joy and engagement for our residents. I have a unique set of training that includes ACE Group Fitness Instructor Certification with Senior Exercise focus, many group exercise class formats, yoga, Qigong, teaching (Masters in K-12 Education), and music. I've read every book on dementia--from behaviors to stages--and utilize this knowledge in every activity I plan. I am also a Teepa Snow Positive Approach to Care (PAC) Certified Trainer. The power of this program is that it is living and breathing--I listen and grow. I test activities at a memory care unit to ensure it will work for you and I adjust activities based on your feedback. I hope you join me on this journey to create vibrant experiences for memory care residents and home care. Together, we can make every day a best day.
