Celebrating Therapeutic Recreation Week: Promoting Healing Through Meaningful Engagement
Blog July 7, 2025
At Village Point Rehabilitation & Healthcare, we recognize that true healing blends expert care with holistic wellness. In honor of National Therapeutic Recreation Week (July 6th–12th), we’re celebrating meaningful engagement and thoughtful activities, promoting recovery, resilience, and overall well-being in older adults.
The Purpose of Therapeutic Recreation
Therapeutic recreation for seniors is a targeted approach to wellness that uses leisure and purposeful activities to support physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being. From tailored exercise programs and cognitive activities to creative outlets like art and music, the activities offered at Village Point are designed to help individuals regain function, reduce stress, and improve their overall quality of life.
Personalized Approaches That Support Recovery
Our certified team members work closely with each resident to create personalized programs based on individual needs, interests, and recovery goals. Whether someone is rebuilding strength after surgery or coping with memory loss, every activity is thoughtfully chosen to support their unique journey. We offer a wide range of purposeful activities and programs, including:
- Adaptive fitness classes to improve mobility and balance
- Sensory programs for dementia and Alzheimer’s care
- Music, art, and pet therapy to encourage connection
- Sensory Garden to promote sensory stimulation
This customized approach not only enhances recovery but also helps individuals find joy, purpose, and community during a vulnerable time.
Whole-Person Wellness in a Life Plan Community
Village Point offers four distinct neighborhoods that create a nurturing and calming atmosphere for different care needs. Therapeutic recreation is a key component of this model, promoting lifelong wellness and helping residents live with greater independence and confidence.
Our team collaborates with clinical staff, families, and the individuals we serve to ensure that every engagement opportunity aligns with our commitment to compassionate, person-centered care.
