Recreation and Exercise Group on the Move

April 17, 2009

The Recreation and Exercise group presented information about activities to Dr. Forster on her last visit. In both adult and children services, we are attempting to schedule a wider variety of activities that are therapeutic for all involved. As a result of our initial meetings, members of the group have already sprung into action and are moving forward on their ideas.

Staff members scheduled arts and crafts activities and walks at various locations. One residence has combined long nature walks with photography that helps clients get exercise while enjoying this hobby. We have plans for puzzle nights, karaoke nights, and other group celebrations. We had a very successful St Patrick’s Day party! There was music, dancing and everything green! It was a big hit!

With the spring finally up us on Cape Cod, we are looking at how to incorporate more walking, biking and outdoor enjoyment.
