Courtyard Shadow Boxes

Listed under: Lifestyle Enhancements, South Hill

In March 2026, the Foundation approved the purchase of shadow boxes to be installed outside each memory care room at Rockwood South Hill. The shadow boxes were designed to help residents and families showcase meaningful memories, interests, and hobbies, creating opportunities for conversation, connection, comfort, and reminiscence.

Thanks to a partnership with our Rockwood South Hill woodshop residents, the shadow boxes could be built at a fraction of the anticipated cost. Then, a generous resident donated all the materials needed for the project, making this community effort a reality at no cost to Rockwood or the Foundation.

Families were invited to join our staff and residents to help decorate each shadow box. Now, the shadow boxes allow families, visitors, and other residents to engage in conversation and learn more about each other.
