Shared Joy Foundation - Services

Dementia-Focused Therapeutic Recreation

 

 

We believe that access to therapeutic recreation helps individuals living with dementia experience greater connection, engagement, and joy. 

 

Our programs are carefully developed by Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists (CTRS) for participants in all stages of dementia progression.

Expressive Activities

Open-ended creative activities foster self-expression and a sense of control. Projects and materials are thoughtfully selected to create choices while avoiding overwhelm.

Exercise Classes

DROM combines cardio drumming with mindfulness practices to create an accessible, calming form of exercise. Classes are available in both standing and seated formats.

Caregiver Support

We provide pre-assembled therapeutic activity kits for caregivers to implement at home. These activities are designed to provide calming distraction during challenging moments.
