Activities are tools to engage, practice, socialize and provide people living with dementia a feeling of purpose and autonomy. The activities are connected to each individual’s personal interests and meet their specific need, with the objective not to occupy, but to engage.
AGI’s Morty Gross and Busner Family Activity Centre has a team of recreation therapists and other professionals who develop and implement programs fostering group inclusion while catering to the physical, cognitive, social and emotional needs of each individual.
Activities include:
• Strength and balance training
• Low-impact exercises (chair dancing)
• Cognitive activities stimulating attention,
focus, and memory
• Creative arts therapies with daily
programming lead by AGI’s Music
and Art Therapists.
