Activities
Programming focuses on mental fitness, social engagement, physical activity and creativity, which support health and well-being. Activities include games, art therapy, intergenerational events, entertainment, music therapy, animal-assisted activities and community outings.
Interactive programming is customized based on hobbies, individual interests and special needs, including dementia care. A client-centered Care Plan is developed for each older adult based on their goals and interests.
Memories in the Making®
In partnership with the Alzheimer's Association Southeastern Wisconsin, the Memories in the Making® program offers an outlet for creative expression through art for individuals with Alzheimer's Disease or other memory loss. The sessions are led by a specially trained facilitator. Clients are able to paint with their peers, which increases their ability to express themselves, encourage socialization and help with mental alertness.
Carroll University partnership
Physical and occupational therapy students from Carroll University visit the Curative Care Senior Center during the fall, spring and summer semesters. Physical therapy students provide "adult play" experiences, which include fitness activities at the local YMCA and bowling outings. Occupational therapy students work with our clients on creative, memory-boosting and exercise activities.
