The daily curriculum of activities is designed to motivate and rehabilitate our
participants in order to improve quality of life by assuring freedom of choice and
independance. Scheduled events include arts and crafts, exercise groups, dances,
musical presentations, sports (including adapted sports and other activities for
individuals with disabilities and/or mobility problems), and focus discussion groups.
Skill building activities and pre-vocational activities may include cognitive
classes, number recognition, literacy training, money management skills, etc. Share
Your Care works closely with supported employment organizations to assist interested
individuals in obtaining employment. All activities offered are age appropriate,
culturally relevant, and can accomodate visually, hearing and cognitively impaired
persons. A wide range of activities are designed for individuals with Alzheimer's
Disease or related Dementias and intergenerational programs are available. Clients
are afforded opportunities to build relationships with individuals outside of Share
Your Care. Examples include community clean up, visiting nursing homes, and the
Cookie Project where clients bake and deliver cookies and other goods to the
Childrens Psychiatric Hospital.
