ROS Legacy Senior Activity System

Legacy is the next generation of modular activities from R.O.S. Therapy Systems. Originally designed in honor of Roger Owen Silknitter, who lived with Parkinson's Disease and dementia for over 25 years, its success with this one beloved man inspired those who loved him to make these easy to use, nostalgic activities available to seniors, caregiviers, assisted living centers, family and friends across North America.

The main difference between the R.O.S. Spree (the original creation) and the new R.O.S. Legacy systems is the material used in the console construction. The original Spree is made with high density polyethylene that is shatterproof, but is heavier and a bit more costly than the Legacy system. The Legacy system is, however, durable, dishwasher safe and made with anti-microbial / antibacterial materials.

No matter which system is right for you or the person(s) you care for, R.O.S. systems have several quality of life enhancements for seniors, persons who are bed or wheelchair bound and/or those living with Alzheimer's, other forms of dementia, Parkinson's disease or other neurological or degenerative disorders.

• Stimulate socialability - The R.O.S. Play Therapy™ systems are great re-engagement tools. The activities are familiar and offer stimulating, dignified play and encourage reminiscing.
• Increase engagement levels - The consoles are easy to use and make it so persons can easily play and engage at their individual levels of ability in accord with cognition and mobility.
• Greater happiness - Boosts in positive emotions are the #1 side effects of engaging with the R.O.S. system. Being able "do something" again is a great feeling, whether it be a magnetic puzzle that won't slide around or keeping paper based activities in place.
• Fun cognitive exercise - These games and consoles are designed to play off of existing abilities long held in our memory banks, like reading, simple gardening and jigsaw puzzles.
