Therapeutic Recreation is a rehabilitative treatment modality which uses an individual’s past strengths, talents, and interests in an adaptive manner with the goal of gaining improvement or at the very least stabilization of mood state, mental and physical function. Tapping into a person’s passions in life increases the potential for the return of motivation for social engagement and activity as well as physical activity.
Therapeutic Recreation programming is generally categorized into three domains: body, mind, and spirit. Each category must be addressed for an individual to live the greatest quality of life experience possible. With that in mind, any specific program on the Caring Connection calendar may touch on something in one or more of the categories while having focus on one specific area. At the Caring Connection programming includes but is not limited to: daily seated exercises and adaptive physical games, entertainers, trivia, horticulture, gardening, arts and crafts, a variety of musical programming, discussion groups, book club, Bible study, intergenerational programming with local school groups, out to lunch trips, get up and go trips, fishing in the spring, tours of Northwest Park in spring and autumn.
Body
Our clients engage their bodies through a variety of activities such as seated exercises, arts & crafts, adaptive physical games and singing.
Mind
Mentally stimulating programs are designed with a wide variety of memory and cognitive function in mind. Therapeutically designed programs allow clients to utilize portions of their memory that remain intact and retrievable. Individuals with memory disorders need to feel successful. Caring Connection clients find success in their opportunities to contribute to trivia, discussion groups, and other interactive activities.
Spirit
We provide spiritual programming, reminiscence, arts & crafts and singing to enrich the spiritual well being of our clients.
