Long Term Care
Leeway’s reputation for excellence is earned by providing holistic, person-centered care. Our long-term residents are served by compassionate and experienced staff in a small, home-like atmosphere where everyone feels like family. Everyone enjoys our well-rounded recreation program, which provides a variety of therapeutic leisure activities to enhance the quality of life and independence of those in our care. Our Therapeutic Recreation program highlights our Long-Term Care program.
Therapeutic Recreation Program
Leeway’s Therapeutic Recreation program provides various opportunities for our residents to develop new leisure skills and interests that may be carried into the community when they return to independent living. The treatment, education, and recreational services are designed to broaden the scope of how residents use their leisure/activity time effectively to enhance their health, functional abilities, independence, and quality of life.
The Recreation staff provides individual, small, and significant group activities ranging from arts and crafts, bingo, music entertainment, movies, educational videos, cooking groups, games, pet therapy, and special events/celebrations through various community out-trips.
Residents learn to manage their time better to help reduce boredom, stress, loneliness, anxiety, and depression. The program also creates learning opportunities for enhanced interpersonal skills to improve social functioning, self-esteem, problem-solving, and coping skills.
The Therapeutic Recreation department utilizes many community resources to broaden program offerings, visiting libraries, local parks, museums, performing arts, and seasonal community events. These activities have a significant impact on our residents’ quality of life. Many have never had access to the arts and the healing benefits they provide until arriving at Leeway. As one of our Alumni stated, Leeway gave me a template for Living. Our generous donors support these activities. Help someone find a new template for living a full and meaningful life.
