A full schedule of therapeutic, social and recreational activities is offered seven days a week. In keeping with our mission of helping residents live their lives to the fullest, recreation provides physical and cognitive activity which is therapeutic and fun. Each individual’s needs are continually assessed to determine their interests and ability level.
Our staff is trained in Therapeutic Recreation and is continually learning and incorporating the latest techniques. Residents are offered and encouraged to participate in recreational and social programs within the building. Large groups encourage all levels of participation while smaller groups and one-to-one activities provide social and personal interaction based on individual interests and abilities.
Regular family and resident events such as seasonal gatherings, religious services, and more keep residents feeling vital and connected.
The Alton also provides opportunities and transportation for resident outings. Our caregivers supervise visits to such places as restaurants, cultural offerings and other locations of interest.
