Therapeutic Recreation

Therapeutic recreation staff create an environment that promotes well-being, self-esteem, enhances accomplishment and provides for opportunities for socialization and friendship with peers. Activities are planned to meet each resident’s individual interests and capabilities. A comprehensive program design, addressing the cognitive, physical, social and emotional needs of the resident, serves the independent resident and those with lesser capacities.

Structured therapeutic activities which modify tasks to facilitate success include: adapted sports, cooking, arts and crafts, gardening, sing-a-longs, reminiscence groups, pet visits, cognitive/sensory groups and story telling. Independent residents are offered educational and leisure time programs including art and music appreciation, competitive board games, current events, discussion groups, as well as, large print library books and computer on-line access.

Each unit’s newly added activity room fosters independent residents to gather for card games, board games, to socialize with peers from other units or to watch movies on a large screen televisoin. Specialized programs have been implemented to meet the needs of the diverse population including a Latin Club for the Hispanic population and a Time Slip Workshop for residents with dementia.

Staff ensure that residents will enjoy entertainment such as parties, holiday celebrations and special events with professional singers, dancers and musicians, engage in healthy senior Olympic sports, dine on special ethnic foods at candlelight dinners rich with ambiance and take bus trips for excursions to Belmont Race Track, Brooklyn Cyclones games, shopping trips, movies, fine dining and more.

We support and encourage intergenerational programs with community-based schools and centers and engage in therapeutic alliances with the Swedish Institute and the National Center for Creative Aging.
