Activities
Therapeutic activities are a core component of the services provided
by The Life Center and are available to each participant. We offer a
varied program of activities 
designed
to enhance the adult’s feeling of self-worth and usefulness, stimulate
creativity, provide safety, and provide peer association, enjoyment
and fun.
Activities are planned to meet the interests, needs and abilities of
the participants with an emphasis placed on utilizing strengths. Time
is also scheduled for rest and relaxation. Our activities include: guest
speakers, exercise, health and nutrition education, cultural enrichment,
intergenerational programs, remotivation, crafts, music therapy, gardening,
devotions, trivia, trips down memory lane, games, Bible Study, Chapel
services and more. Safe ‘wandering’ is permitted within
the building and onto the screened porch.
Activities are planned and
paced for needs of the adult. Aimed at maintaining the highest possible
level of functioning, activities are never forced upon a participant
and personal attention is provided when needed.
