Emagine Entertainment’s Batavia location is the first Illinois location to screen movies specifically for people with dementia and their caregivers.
Guests mingle during pre-show at a Dementia-Friendly Screening in Saline, Michigan, where the program began in March 2023.
“We are honored to offer our guests living with dementia and their family members the opportunity to enjoy these classic movies in a safe and welcoming environment,” said Anthony LaVerde, CEO of Emagine Entertainment. The program started in Batavia in February, with the company reaching out to memory care and assisted living centers, he said. The first show had about 30 people and the March show had around 45.
