Curious About What Recreational Programs Service Entails?

Social and emotional health are just as critical as the physical needs of our clients. Getting older, recovering from illness or injury, or having a disability doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy the activities that bring your life joy and meaning. In fact, we believe that receiving home care is the perfect time to reinvigorate your spirit with your favorite activities to jumpstart the physical and emotional healing process.

Recreation and engagement visits use leisure activities to promote recovery from illness, injury, or disability, or to bring happiness to the day of someone who would benefit from a positive and enjoyable social interaction. Leisure activities might include art, dance, music, exercise, creative writing, and games of all types.

What Are Recreational Programs?

True Care's Recreational and Engagement Program provides key socialization, enjoyment, and mental stimulation that is so important to our clients’ overall well-being. The program is designed to assess and address our client’s unique strengths, interests, desires, and goals. We aim to help them improve or maintain their physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual functioning to be able to participate in their lives more robustly.

At True Care, we uphold the idea that every individual is unique, and that it may be necessary to try different plans and implementations as client needs change. No matter the stage, we’ll be there every step of the way to help our clients reach their goals.

What Are Engagement Classes?

Engagement isn’t just about having a good time. Our Recreation Therapists can give progress reports and help monitor improvements in social, emotional, and cognitive function over time. This can really help to put the process of healing in context. After all, life is about enjoying the things we love, with the people we care about. Let Recreational Therapy infuse you or your loved one’s life with extra joy.

Some examples of Engagement classes include:
Group arts and crafts classes
Music therapy

And more, depending on the interests and strengths of the client

Our Recreation Therapists bring warmth and positivity everywhere they go. Whether one-on-one or in a group setting, they work to bring engaging, motivating, and enriching activity into the lives of our clients.

    “I am very satisfied with true care. My home attendant is very helpful and patient. She has basically become like family.”

    Katherine A

    “I love this home care. My grandma has been with this agency for the past 7 years and she never had a problem/ bad experience. They always prompt on substitutes if needed or any updates that are happening at the agency. I myself called them a couple of times to clear out a few questions for my grandma and the front desk ladies were so friendly and helpful! Very satisfied!”

    V. S.

    True Care really does care about their clients. It’s taken a little while to get to the aid that I currently have but she’s irreplaceable and hard working. Everyone I’ve had the pleasure of speaking to is professional and kind. I’m very thankful that we found this agency because there are a lot of Home Care agencies out there but very few that really care, consider their clients and ultimately want what’s best for them.
