Some of these programs are based on medical research, like the mindfulness for stress management class, while others offer freedom from the burden of daily activities. Many physicians, social workers, and other healthcare workers support these programs. They believe, as we do, the programs can assist in the positive continuum of care of patients and be a catalyst in healing. There are no costs for these classes for our guests.
Going through extended medical treatment can be stressful. Anxiety, fear, depression and the presence of chronic pain are often part of this journey. We understand and have developed several integrative therapy programs for our guests to help reduce those negative aspects and increase the healing process.
Our programs include:
Tai Chi – Taught periodically by an experienced instructor, Tai Chi is a slow-moving meditative exercise designed to increase strength and flexibility, decrease joint pain and stress, reduce blood pressure and increase one’s sense of well-being. It can be done seated or standing, and no prior experience or equipment is necessary.
Art Therapy – Taught periodically by an art instructor. The creative arts allow “space” for quiet expression, which is helpful in the healing process. Supplies are provided.
Chef’s Night In – this program brings community groups and organizations in several times a month to cook and serve dinner to all of our guests, alleviating the stress of preparing meals.
