In celebration of receiving our 2nd Covid Vaccine and for Therapeutic Recreation Month #NurtureTR #TRmonth2021 please enjoy this short video and come along with us on our wonderful bike tour ‘Going the Distance’! Therapeutic Recreation #TRInThisTogether recreating Mind, Body and Spirit.

Today we travelled to Sha Tin District on our Going the Distance bike tour. Loida, our Recreation Aide shared with us that she lived there for 4 years as a caregiver. What a GREAT story to tell our residents It was interesting to learn about the culture and the families she worked with. #TRMonth2021 #CTRA2021 #NurtureTR #TRInThisTogether

Every day we have many different programs but I think Francine‘s favourite is definitely Art! With Valentines just around the corner she just couldn’t resist making a ‘LOVE’ door hanger #TRinthistogether #CTRA2021 #TRMonth2021 #NurtureTR

Mindful Monday Daily affirmations are said to reprogram negative beliefs we may hold about ourselves or a situation, helping us think more positively. Try this simple exercise for a week it only takes 5 minutes a day to see whether you feel a boost in your psychological immune system. #MindfulMonday #AllSeniorsCare

Mindful Mondays "I regard music therapy as a tool of great power in many neurological disorders because of its unique capacity to organize or reorganize cerebral function when it has been damaged." Oliver Sacks, M.D. #MindfulMondays #AllSeniorsCare
