News : Windsor Manor needs your help to step back in time

We serve a population where many suffer from Alzheimer’s and Dementia. With Alzheimer’s Disease, a person regresses as the disease progresses. In essence, they travel back through their life. To help them cope with the changes in their minds, it can help to have items that are familiar to them. I have put together a list of items that we are requesting for our residents. Unfortunately many of these items aren’t things you can go pick up at the local store and that’s why we are asking for help. The items need to be familiar and recognizable so they are vintage.

Any help from the wonderful people in Vinton would be greatly appreciated.

We are looking for items to bring back memories for our residents…

We prefer these items be from the era they remember so many items will be vintage.

If you have any of the following items, we would gladly put them to great use!

Old Fishing Gear – Tackle Box - Horse Shoes - Balls of all sizes and textures - Old Dolls and clothes - Manual Typewriter – Large colored paper clips for sorting - Wooden Spoons and other kitchen utensils/tools - Old Iron - Old Locks and Keys – sand paper and small wood blocks - Door knobs - Bolts, nuts, screws to sort - Buttons of larger size to sort - books with pictures – Purses and wallets – Aprons – Vintage Hats for men and women – old tools – stamps – spools – costume jewelry – jewelry box – old camera’s – shoe horns - ….Thank you in advance for your generosity!

You may drop off the items at Windsor Manor anytime at 1807 W. 5th St.
