We at Caring Hands Adult Medical Daycare are dedicated to providing each of our clients with a program consisting of cognitive and physical activities that are designed around their specific needs, interests, and abilities.
We strive to provide the following activities:
- Fitness Programs. Help our clients build strength, flexibility, and balance through ability-appropriate exercises. We conduct active games such as bowling, horseshoes, volleyball, and Wii contests.
- Enrichment Activities. Aim to improve hand-eye coordination, as well as providing an outlet that enables them to express their creative ideas. Some of these activities include painting, ceramics, knitting, and jigsaw puzzles.
- Cognitive Stimulation Activities. We strive to provide exercises that can enhance the mental acuity and cognitive function of our clients. Our members partake in computer programs for memory enhancement, word puzzles, reminiscing exercises, game shows such as Millionaire, Price is Right, and Family Feud (where their knowledge and memory are implemented), and group discussions on topics such as current events, arts, and literature.
Creative and Cognitive Expression
Art and puzzle-based activities give individuals a chance to explore their creative side while also stimulating the brain. Projects such as painting, ceramics, and knitting allow for self-expression and the development of fine motor skills. Jigsaw puzzles and word games support cognitive functioning and provide a calming, rewarding experience. These sessions are as much about mental stimulation as they are about emotional connection. The sense of accomplishment and joy from finishing a project boosts morale and fosters group bonding.
Mental Focus Through Interactive Stimulation
Clients participate in a variety of cognitive games and discussions that challenge memory and sharpen thinking. Programs include trivia-based game shows, memory-enhancement software, and themed discussions on current topics, history, and the arts. These activities help support mental clarity and decision-making skills while keeping participants socially connected. Mental therapeutic activities in Dundalk, Maryland include these engaging programs, designed for engagement at all levels. These sessions encourage lively participation and continued learning. Each program is flexible enough to meet a range of cognitive needs and goals.
