At BHCC Nursing & Rehab, we understand that a well-rounded and fulfilling life involves more than just medical care. Our Recreational Therapy Services are designed to enhance the overall well-being of our residents by providing engaging and enjoyable activities that promote physical, cognitive, emotional, and social wellness. We believe that through meaningful recreation, individuals can find joy, purpose, and a sense of connection.

Here are some of the key features and benefits of our Recreational Therapy Services:

1. Personalized Recreation Assessments: Our experienced recreational therapists conduct comprehensive assessments to understand each resident's interests, abilities, and therapeutic needs. This information helps us create personalized recreation plans that cater to individual preferences and goals. We believe in tailoring activities to ensure maximum engagement and enjoyment.

2. Diverse Range of Activities: We offer a wide variety of activities to cater to different interests and abilities. From arts and crafts to music therapy, exercise programs, gardening, pet therapy, games, and outings, there is something for everyone. Our goal is to provide stimulating and enjoyable experiences that promote physical fitness, cognitive stimulation, emotional well-being, and social interaction.

3. Therapeutic Approaches: Our recreational therapists incorporate evidence-based therapeutic approaches into our activities. For example, we utilize cognitive stimulation techniques for memory enhancement, physical exercises for strength and mobility improvement, and sensory stimulation for relaxation and sensory integration. We strive to create a supportive and therapeutic environment that fosters growth and personal development.

4. Group and Individual Sessions: We offer both group-based and individual recreational therapy sessions to cater to different preferences and needs. Group activities promote socialization, teamwork, and peer support, while individual sessions allow for personalized attention and focus on specific therapeutic goals. Our therapists work closely with residents to ensure their engagement and progress throughout their therapy journey.

5. Community Integration: We recognize the importance of maintaining connections with the broader community. Our recreational therapy program includes opportunities for residents to participate in community outings, volunteer work, and intergenerational activities. These experiences not only provide a sense of purpose but also foster social engagement and a sense of belonging.

6. Emotional and Psychological Support: Recreational therapy goes beyond physical activities. We aim to address the emotional and psychological well-being of our residents through various therapeutic modalities. Our therapists are recreational staff trained to provide emotional support, stress management techniques, and outlets for creative expression, allowing residents to find comfort, relaxation, and personal growth.

7. Continuity of Care: Our recreational therapy services are integrated into the overall care plan for each resident. We collaborate closely with other healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and occupational and physical therapists, to ensure a holistic approach to resident well-being. By incorporating recreational therapy into the care continuum, we strive to enhance the quality of life and support optimal recovery and rehabilitation.
