Recreational Therapy Personal Assistant Worksop.

Improving the emotional well being of older people and people affected by dementia, by accessing activities in their homes and in the wider community.

Very often, once older age is reached, the focus tends to be on physical well being. All too often, emotional well being is sidelined, or forgotten all together. As we all know, if we feel positive, valued and happy, aches and pains are diminished, we use less pain relief and look forward to the day ahead.
In people affected by dementia, the 'present' is all important and, although daily activities might be soon forgotten, the emotional feeling of well being won't be.
Recreational Therapy is suitable for all people, at every stage of life.
Initially, after a talk with the person and their family regarding wishes and expectations, a date and time will be agreed for RT to begin. There is no obligation to continue after the first session, but the benefits to the person involved, usually show that an ongoing programme would be beneficial in order to maintain improvement in emotional, physical and spiritual well being.
Recreational Therapy have experience and qualifications in dementia, including late stage and those people who are nearing the end of their journey.
Life is for living and Recreational Therapy can enable and assist people to enhance their lives and make positive change.
