Therapeutic Activities is a constant battle between just entertaining and actually providing Therapeutic Stimulus.
This means that there needs to be NEW Ideas, Games, Crafts, Reminiscing, Visual and Audio with almost every session. In some cases due to physical impairments, one session alone may need to be split slightly differently to compensate.
I and many of the other Activity Providers have constantly battled to supply Activities which are fresh and at the same time can meet the budget of either the Activity provider or the homes, depending on how the activities are funded.
I have been constantly searching for new activities, crafts, games etc and have now come up with a range of items which can help anyone working as an Activity Provider, and beyond.
Set out in specially designed packs, these Activities not only provide Therapy but are also extremely competitively priced.

Music activities for the Elderly and Disabled:
Torquay, Torbay Devon.
With music there are so many therapeutic benefits that we don't immediately notice.
We all succumb to the 'Sound of Music' as it were and music can give us so much. Relaxation, Dynamics, Sadness, Joy even anger can be enhanced by listening or playing certain pieces.
What
we like to offer is the thrill of being involved as well
as just being the audience.
We can get residents/ individuals involved by Singing along
to well known tunes, or even tapping a tambourine along
to the beat.
We also like to take the music making further still and actually make some of the percussion instruments before we do a performance.
Many people enjoy the complete package which gives them something to build up to.
With
music, it can stimulate many senses not just Vocally but
also Aurally, sometimes the hard of hearing can pick up
deeper notes and get a sense of the rhythm. The completely
Deaf can actually feel the sounds of deeper notes also enabling
them to pick up rhythm's.
We try to involve as many people as possible in our music sessions and even try to tie it in with light exercise for those taking part.
