Therapeutic Recreation

Therapeutic Recreation

Connection. Purpose. Joy in Every Moment.

At Best Life, we believe that well-being extends far beyond physical care. Through therapeutic recreation, we help older adults rediscover what brings them joy, nurturing emotional, cognitive, and social wellness through experiences that feel deeply personal and meaningful.

Our programs are grounded in evidence-based recreation therapy principles, designed to promote engagement, stimulate memory, and restore confidence. Every session is thoughtfully curated to reflect each client’s history, abilities, and interests, from art and music to reminiscence, cognitive stimulation, and gentle movement.

The Living Well Approach

Therapeutic recreation is not “just activity.” It’s a powerful form of therapy, one that helps clients build connection, preserve identity, and maintain a sense of purpose. Our recreation therapist and trained facilitators use structured, goal-driven methods that are both enjoyable and restorative.

Each plan begins with a personalized assessment to understand the individual’s strengths, interests, and goals. From there, we design a program that supports emotional well-being, cognitive vitality, and social connection, helping every client experience moments of joy and success.

Our Living Well approach brings together Therapeutic Recreation, Personal Care, and Fitness to support every aspect of well-being; physical, emotional, cognitive, and social.

Therapeutic Recreation is where joy meets purpose. But its benefits grow when paired with our other services:

  • Personal Care ensures comfort and dignity.

  • Fitness restores confidence, strength, and mobility, helping clients stay active and independent.

  • Therapeutic Recreation brings it all together through meaningful engagement, social connection, and activities designed to nurture the mind and spirit.

Together, these services create a circle of support helping every client live fully, not just functionally.

If you’re building a personalized plan for yourself or a loved one, our team can help you combine the right mix of Living Well services to bring balance, vitality, and purpose back into everyday life.
