Dementia-Focused
Therapeutic Recreation

 

 

We believe that recreation can help individuals living with dementia experience connection, engagement, and joy. 

 

Our programs are carefully developed to optimize benefits while remaining mindful of the unique challenges that come with memory loss. We work with individuals in all stages of dementia, and aim to meet each person where they are at.

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.

Cognitive & Sensory Activities

Open-ended, creative activities help individuals express themselves and experience a sense of mastery. Mediums include painting, collage, and sculpture.

Caregiver Support

We provide take-home therapeutic activity kits for caregivers to implement with their loved ones. These are designed to promote connection while reducing boredom and anxiety.
