A
schedule of therapeutic activities is posted daily on the
bulletin board. The doctors expect their patients to participate
fully in the hospital program along with staff members and
volunteers.
Some
activities are arranged by Occupational Therapy, some by Recreational
Therapy and others jointly by the two services. The activities
take place on and off the hospital premises.
Creative
activities are offered at all levels of patients’ skill
and interest. Among them are art therapy, dance therapy,
group murals and horticulture. There is also a literature
and poetry workshop. Recreational
activities include table games, movies, sports, holiday
celebrations and live entertainment by talented volunteers
as well as visits to stores, libraries - and parks with beaches,
picnic areas & tennis courts. Special projects can be
arranged.
